Venezuela, Brazil support combat against terrorism in Colombia
The presidents of Venezuela and Brazil on Tuesday reiterated their support for Colombia's combat against terrorism at a press conference following the Puerto Ordaz summit.

Venezuela will help build a path that leads to the consolidation of peace in Colombia, said Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez at a press conference at the end of the summit.

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said he will arrange a meeting for Brazilian and Colombian defense ministers to help find a way to obtain peace in Colombia.

Besides the two presidents, Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero and Colombian head of state Alvaro Uribe also attended the summit.

The one-day summit was designed to secure the volatile border areas between the three South American countries and seek a common position toward Colombian rebels.
