| Dominican President to mediate between Colombia and Venezuela |
| 2010-03-06 |
| I would have sent a Jesuit myself ... Nobody woulda stood for it. They're too... ummm... Jesuitical. Dominican Republic President Leonel Fernandez would meet on Friday night with his Colombian counterpart Alvaro Uribe, acting as mediator to improve relations between Colombia and Venezuela, a source from Colombia's President Office reported. Fernandez will hold a private meeting with Uribe in Bogota. The Dominican President is scheduled to leave on Saturday, AFP reported. Colombian media said that after the meeting with Uribe, Fernandez will meet with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez in Caracas. President Chavez froze diplomatic and commercial relations with Colombia in July 2009, in retaliation for a military agreement between Washington and Bogota that Chavez considers a "threat" to his country. |
