Chavez: Santos is 'new best friend'

[naaman fletcher]

Venezuela President Hugo Chavez confirmed Monday that he and his Colombian counterpart Juan Manuel Santos are "new best friends."

"He has said that I am his new best friend and today I say the same: President Santos is my new best friend," Chavez was quoted saying by the Venezuelan News Agency (AVN).

Chavez responded to comments by Santos, who on Sunday called the Venezuelan head of state his "new best friend" and said relations between the two neighboring countries "are on the right track."

The Venezuelan president, on an official visit to Cuba, agreed with Santos and said that both countries were obliged to come to terms with the other, despite their difference in political ideology.

I'm glad to see Chavez shares my positive view of Santos. I wonder, is this the first thing that Chavez has ever done that a certain person here would disagree with?

2. the way it works, if you disagree with Hugo or something negative is reported on his gov

is you remain silent, or post something negative about the US or Colombia. Disagreement with Hugo is not permitted.
