Chavez to Ahmadinejad: Iran and Venezuela Are Global Powers
At an April 4, 2009 meeting with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei praised Chavez for severing diplomatic ties with Israel and stated that, by doing so, he had fulfilled an obligation that the European countries must fulfill as well. Chavez stated that “thanks to their vast capabilities, Iran and Venezuela are becoming global powers.”
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad described Chavez’s visit to Iran as important and crucial in light of the economic and political collapse of the liberal regimes, and outlined Iran’s plan for expanding its cooperation with the South American countries. During Chavez’s visit, an Iranian-Venezuelan bank was inaugurated, and it was reported that a joint oil company would be established as well.
