SANTO DOMINGO.- President Leonel Fernandez’s mediation in conflict pitting Caracas and Bogota may take place this weekend, said Foreign Relations minister Carlos Morales Friday morning.
Fernandez, who departed to Guatemala at 9:32 a.m. on Friday, is scheduled to meet with president Alvaro Uribe in Colombia tonight, and may meet with Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez as early as Saturday.
Morales, speaking with reporters before heading to Guatemala, didn’t specify whether the meeting between the two embattled leaders would take place in his country or on the Colombia-Venezuela border.
Given his role as mediator Fernandez’s return date hasn’t been established.

The announcement caught many by surprise including NASA and other international space agencies who as yet are unavailable for comment.

We’ve got some great new rides planned, some of them will be unique to Disneyland Dominicana. The Valley of Darkness is where people take a trip underground. Every so often, the ride will stop and they’ll be plunged into darkness.”
“Thankfully, we don’t need any special equipment for this. We’ve spoken to the local electricity provider and they’ve assured us that the power will go on and off intermittently anyway, so this ride will be easy to set UP.

We were also keen to find out how the Government was able to fund such an expensive program. Lieutenant Perez acknowledged that whilst the country is not rich and cannot afford to waste money, space travel was not that expensive anymore. PERD were able to source some left over rocket parts from previous space missions, re-program the intergalactic mileage circuitry, and replace worn out parts with Corolla spares. Apparently, Brugal 151 not only provides the main ingredient for the rocket fuel, but the recycled bottles were useful in providing the hard, heat resistant surface for the nose cone

El presidente de Venezuela, Hugo Chávez, parece que rechazó reunirse en ese país con el presidente Leonel Fernández, de República Dominicana, quien funge de mediador en el conflicto que esa nación suramericana mantiene con Colombia.
El Gobierno de Venezuela ha enfriado sus relaciones con el Gobierno dominicano, tras el reconocimiento del presidente Leonel Fernández del Gobierno de Virgilio Lobos, en Honduras.

CONFLICTO VENEZUELA-COLOMBIA
Venezuela dice que relación con Colombia se normalizaría con nuevo presidente
El planteamiento lo hizo el ministro venezolano de Relaciones Exteriores, Nicolás Maduro.

Caracas.- El Gobierno venezolano considera que la normalización de relaciones con Colombia podrá llegar con el nuevo presidente que ese país elija este año, indicó el ministro venezolano de Relaciones Exteriores, Nicolás Maduro.
El planteamiento lo hizo Maduro durante el programa de televisión "José Vicente Hoy", que dirige el ex vicepresidente y ex canciller venezolano José Vicente Rangel, transmitido hoy por el canal privado Televén.
"Hay que esperar el desenlace de las elecciones presidenciales en Colombia y esperar la llegada de un nuevo jefe de Estado para avanzar.

Todo lo que se pueda hacer hoy se debería enfocar en crear condiciones para ese momento", dijo Maduro.
El canciller venezolano se reunirá mañana con el presidente de República Dominicana, Leonel Fernández, quien actúa como mediador para la normalización de las relaciones entre Bogotá y Caracas.
La declaración de Maduro sugiere que no habrá avances mientras ocupe la presidencia colombiana Álvaro Uribe y que la acción mediadora de Fernández debería apuntar hacia las relaciones que se construirán con el nuevo Gobierno colombiano.
En ese sentido, el canciller venezolano dijo que Caracas espera "que con el nuevo presidente colombiano se puedan establecer relaciones muy claras, basadas en el respeto a nuestro país".
"El presidente (Hugo) Chávez ha dicho muy claramente que es nuestro deseo llevar las relaciones con Colombia al mejor punto posible", añadió el funcionario.

Maduro insistió en que "hay que darle tiempo al tiempo" y en que actualmente "todo el mundo esta pensando en el posturibismo".
El titular de Relaciones Exteriores señaló que Uribe "convirtió a Bogotá en un centro de conspiración contra la estabilidad de nuestro país y de la región", sobre todo con la apertura de su país a las tropas estadounidenses.
"Colombia desechó a un hermano (Venezuela) y se entregó en manos de un extraño (EE.UU.) que solo piensa aprovecharse y saquear el país", manifestó el ministro venezolano.
Maduro sugirió que esa actuación es la que impide una normalización mientras siga Uribe en el poder y reiteró que las relaciones bilaterales solo retornarán a su normalidad cuando haya "una profunda rectificación del Gobierno colombiano y un respeto impecable hacia el presidente Chávez y Venezuela".
