Chavez for Turning South
America into World Power
CARACAS - South
America should become a
leading power in today´s
multipolar world, said
Venezuelan President
Hugo Chavez, who also
advised the United
States "to learn to
listen."
According to Chavez, who
was interviewed by a
local radio station,
“South America and the
Caribbean must be new
factors in world power”.
The statesman pointed
out that his statement
stems from the recent
creation of the Union of
South American Nations (UNASUR)
and the various
integration projects on
the energy, geopolitics
and financial sectors
already being
implemented in the
region.
Asked about an eventual
comeback of the
so-called Cold War after
increasing military ties
between Venezuela and
Russia, the President
regarded a cold war
reactivation as
practically impossible.
“A multipolar world is
being created. A new
world of relations, new
codes of interrelations
among world powers,” he
stressed.
Referring to the
upcoming navy military
maneuvers with Russia,
Chavez said the presence
of the Russian Navy is
positive: “The US IV
fleet is also coming, as
well as France is coming
to carry out war games
with us and other
countries in the
Caribbean waters.”
Regarding the current
international situation,
the Venezuelan President
said a different world
is being born after the
disappearance of the
Soviet Union and the
decline of the United
States.
A multipolar world is
being created by Russia,
China and Europe. The
United States Empire is
never going to recover,
expressed the Venezuelan
president.
In this context he
explained that the
United States government
should learn to read
current economic,
geopolitical and
independence messages.
Chavez said President
George W. Bush will
leave the White House
being an illiterate from
the geopolitical and
historical point of
view.
It would be good to sit
down one day with a
president of the United
States who listens, he
stressed. |
