Organization of American States (OAS) Secretary-General José Miguel Insulza expects to stop being at odds with President Hugo Chávez pretty soon and denied any meddling in Venezuela's internal affairs.

"There is a number of reasons that we will clarify on due time. I plan to do it over the next few days," Insulza told Friday Chilean morning newspaper El Mercurio.

Insulza arrived in Chile on Thursday night to attend an OAS seminar and spend the weekend with some friends, AP reported.

Chávez called the OAS secretary-general an "idiot, insipid," for having declared in Washington that the closure of private TV channel Radio Caracas Televisión (RCTV) as a result of the government reluctance to renew a broadcasting license endangered freedom of expression.

"I do not like insults; what do you want me to say? I do not like them in politics as an argument, let alone to be insulted. Therefore, I was not indifferent," the Chilean diplomat conceded.
