Chavez Cuts Off Contacts With Colombia By JORGE RUEDA (Associated Press Writer) From Associated Press November 28, 2007 4:40 PM EST CARACAS, Venezuela - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said Wednesday he was cutting off all contacts with the Colombian government, but fell short of announcing an end to diplomatic relations between the two countries. The announcement came after a series of sharp exchanges between Chavez and Colombian President Alvaro Uribe over the Venezuelan's removal as a mediator between Colombia's government and rebels. "While President Uribe is president of Colombia I will have no type of relationship with him or with the government in Colombia," Chavez said. Speaking in the southwestern state of Tachira, Chavez said he will not have any relationship with a "president who is capable of such barefaced lies, disrespects another president that he has called a friend, one that he called on for help." The Venezuelan president had a similar spat in late 2005 with then Mexican President Vicente Fox. While relations between Mexico and Venezuela were reduced to lower-level diplomats, ties were not formally severed. Uribe, whose term runs into 2010, appeared to try to calm the dispute with Chavez earlier Wednesday, saying that presidents should put aside their "angers" and "vanities" to get on with their work.
