Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez left his native Venezuela for Cuba on Monday, announcing that he would undergo further cancer treatment.
"We're in the home stretch," Chavez said of his radiation therapy treatment during a ceremony in which he signed a new labor law before boarding a plane bound for Havana.
At the ceremony, Chavez called for Venezuela to withdraw from the Organization of American States' Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, a Washington-based body that he described as a platform for the U.S. to harm Venezuelan interests, CNN reported.
Chavez said he would return after several days, and that he hoped that after a few weeks, he would be able to go out "traveling around the beloved streets of my homeland, the beloved countryside of Venezuela," CBS reported.
