statue
Ambassadors of Venezuela,

presented flowers to a bust
statue of Simon Bolivar, known
as the liberator and forefather
of the Latin American nations.
The statue, 78 centimeters high
and 75 centimeters wide, stands
in the international friendship
forest in east Beijing's

During Venezuelan President Hugo
Rafael Chavez's visit to China
last December, he unveiled the
statue and presented flowers to
it.
Diplomats from 10-odd Latin
American countries attended the
