Venezuela, Belarus allie against 'US imperialism'

July 26, 2006

Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez said today he had forged a strategic alliance 
to stand up to US "imperialism" with fellow maverick Belarussian President 
Alexander Lukashenko.
"Our countries must keep their hands at the ready on the sword," Chavez, in 
ex-Soviet Belarus as part of a world tour, said on a visit to a military 
academy.

"After a day of intensive work, we have created a strategic alliance between 
our countries," he said, speaking through an interpreter. "It is absolutely 
vital to protect our homeland, to guard against internal and external threats."

"The jaws of imperialism and hegemonism have both us and Belarus in their grip."

Chavez did not give details about what the alliance would involve. He is a 
bitter critic of the United States and proclaims socialist ideals to unite 
South America against Washington's influence.

Lukashenko runs a Soviet-style command economy. Washington says he runs the 
last dictatorship in Europe. Belarus is subject to European Union and US 
sanctions after Western observers accused him of rigging his own re-election in 
March.

Like Chavez in Venezuela, Lukashenko has strong support with poor voters.

"The number of countries in the world which resist the forces of dictatorship 
is growing," said Lukashenko, standing alongside Chavez at the military academy.

Chavez leaves Belarus today for Russia where he is to sign a deal to buy 
Russian fighter jets and helicopters. His tour will also take in Qatar, Iran, 
Vietnam and Mali.

The tour is in part to lobby for Venezuela's bid for a seat on the United 
Nations Security Council.
