A robot and 3,500 troops to protect Chávez in Colombia

Latin America
Security arrangements for the visit that Venezuela's President Hugo Chávez will hold on Saturday to the city of Cartagena, northern Colombia, include more than 3,500 troops and robot "Andrews," a bomb disposal special device.

The Chief of Cartagena police, Carlos Mena, said on Friday that the robot will be used as part of the plan to guarantee the security of Chávez, who will meet in the historic resort with his Colombian counterpart Álvaro Uribe, AFP reported.

The meeting between the two presidents will take place at the Casa de Huéspedes Ilustres (Distinguished guest house), 683 miles north of Bogotá. The meeting will be held six months after a similar event took place in the Venezuelan city of Punto Fijo, where both Presidents left behind the crisis that erupted in November 2007 and announced a new era in their relationships.
