Caracas, Sept 4th (ABN).- The Brazilian President, Luis Inácio Lula Da Silva, expressed Monday his full support to his Venezuelan counterpart, Hugo Chávez, for his actions to reach an humanitarian agreement for the release of the political leaders, militaries and policies kidnapped by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Farc).
Furthermore, both Presidents agreed to meet in Manaos, capital of the Brazilian Amazonia, on September 20th, in order to review the bilateral agenda, agreements and other common issues, a press communiqué issued by the Venezuelan Ministry of People’s Power for Communication and Information (Minci) reported.
Lula called Chávez and offered to the Venezuelan leader all the political and diplomatic collaboration that he needs in his role as mediator.
Likewise, Lula foretold success to the Venezuelan mediation, which has ''a strategic importance for Brazil, which extensive borders with Colombia have been affected by frequent disruptions caused by the domestic dispute of Colombia''.
The Brazilian President is the second head of state who express support to the Venezuelan mediation in Colombia. Last Sunday, during President Chávez’ weekly TV show Aló Presidente, Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega called to express his support to Chávez.
