Chavez wants South American confederation
COCHABAMBA, Bolivia, Dec. 8 (UPI) -- Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez Friday called for the creation of a "South American confederation" against the United States, Globovision TV reported.
The outspoken leftist leader said several regional countries including Bolivia, Ecuador and Argentina -- all led by leftists -- should band together to form a political and economic bloc in opposition to Washington.
Chavez made his remarks during the second annual Summit of Leaders of the South American Community of Nations.
The Venezuelan president is an ardent critic of U.S. policies in the region and elsewhere, and in recent months has taken steps to forge closer ties with Iran. Chavez is also a close ally of Cuban leader Fidel Castro.
