Venezuelan foreign minister says he joked with ailing Hugo Chavez during visit in Cuba
By The Associated Press January 21, 2013 7:20 PM

HAVANA - Venezuela's top diplomat said he joked and laughed with President Hugo Chavez after meeting him on Monday in Cuba, where the ailing leader is recovering from a fourth cancer surgery.

Foreign Minister Elias Jaua wrote on his official Twitter account that Chavez made decisions about Venezuela's participation in this weekend's Community of Latin American and Caribbean States summit in Chile and was "very happy because the Bolivarian dream continues advancing."

"I transmit all his blessings and love for you, his beloved Venezuelan people," Jaua wrote. "Viva Chavez!"
