Venezuela Strengthens Ties with Syria


On his visit to Syria in September, Chavez announced the five trade, agriculture and energy cooperation agreements, which were signed this Monday, October 26th.

In a different deal, Telesur, the 24 hour Pan-Latin American television network created by Chavez, to counter U.S “hegemony” like CNN, will begin broadcasting its shows in Syria. For more see: Source


To remind you of Chavez’s busy schedule in September this year, Al Jazeera’s correspondent Dima Khatib (only foreign correspondent traveling with Chavez) kept a daily reporters dairy. See: Source


Upon their arrival in Damascus, Khatab reported on Chavez's and al-Asad's meeting: "Let's make a new organization which would group all the countries of the axis of evil!" Chavez joked with al-Assad."
