Moscow : Upon his arrival in Russia Tuesday, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez called for a multipolar world order, where countries have full rights to freedom.
Chavez told Prensa Latina being free is a hard task, but “it is our choice, an international order based on polycentrism, as Russian President Dmitri Medvedev says.”
The president recalled Simon Bolivar as saying nearly 200 years ago that only a balanced universe will allow for peace and respect for the peoples” independence. “That is the way we are paving,” he added.
Referring to the importance of his sixth visit to Moscow since 2001, the Venezuelan leader highlighted it is the first since Medvedev was elected chief of State.
“We are going to get to know each other better,” he said.
That is one of the prospects of this new trip to the Russian Federation, Chavez remarked, and noted he is also looking forward to the meeting with now Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.
The president sustained they support ever increasing strategic alliance in fields such as energy, due to the current world crisis, and added that agreements in oil, gas, petrochemistry, science, and technology will be signed.
