PORLAMAR, Venezuela — Venezuela has pitched a tent for Moammar Khadafy as the Libyan leader and President Hugo Chavez headline a weekend Africa- South America summit aimed at creating a stronger voice for the two regions in world affairs.
Khadafy’s insistence on raising an elaborate tent in suburban Bedford, N.Y., caused an uproar during this week’s U.N. General Assembly meeting. But in Venezuela, a tent was erected for his delegation without hitches.
The two-day summit starting today on Venezuela’s Margarita Island allows Chavez to strengthen a growing web of “South-South” alliances and attempt a greater leadership role while critiquing U.S. influence internationally.
