Caracas, September 1st 2009 (Venezuelanalysis.com) – Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez said that the tour he is carrying out in various countries in Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia and Europe is aimed at strengthening Venezuela’s “strategic alliances” that have been built throughout ten years of his government.
