Imperialism Fails To Achieve Dominance Over World: Chavez

Caracas, Jan 10, IRNA – Imperialist powers have failed to achieve their goal to dominate the world, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said on Monday. Chavez made the remarks on the sidelines of the Iranian president's welcoming ceremony. “Nations advocate peace and justice; Iranian and Venezuelan governments will do their best to support the human rights, their countries’ sovereignty as well as international peace unitedly; unfortunately hegemonic powers are more aggressive than the past and show unprecedented movements foolishly,” the Venezuela president said. Chavez noted that Tehran and Caracas have never invaded any country but some other arrogant states have killed thousands of thousands of peoples in their invasions and nuclear bombardments. The Venezuelan president underscored that however the Iranian and Venezuelan nations are victims of the superpowers’ greed, but are introduced by hegemonic powers’ propaganda machine as warmongers. “We are engaged in a battle but the battle is against poverty and backwardness,” Chavez said, stressing the need for further expansion of relations between Third World countries and the South-South countries.
