Chávez once again puts off visit to Chile

Western Hemisphere
Venezuela's President Hugo Chávez has postponed again his visit to Chile, which was scheduled for next week, until July 7-8, according to sources at the Venezuelan Embassy in Chile.

The Chilean government also confirmed the postponement of the visit. Chávez's visit is intended to take place in parallel to the summit of the Union of South American Nations (Unasur), to be held in the Chilean city of Viña del Mar on July 6, EFE reported.

This is the second time that the Venezuelan ruler postpones his trip to Chile, which was originally scheduled for May 17-18, and was later postponed until June 14-15 for problems with the agendas of the Venezuelan President and his Chilean counterpart, Michelle Bachelet.
