A Libyan delegation sent by the North African country’s leader Muammar Qaddafi has arrived in the South American country seeking international support for a truce in the Libyan conflict, Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez said today on state television.
The delegation will hold talks with Chavez’s government to see if members of the Bolivarian Alternative for the Americas, a trade bloc spearheaded by Chavez, and other Latin America countries can help efforts to restore peace to Libya, Foreign Minister Nicolas Maduro said. Venezuela has been in “constant contact” with Qaddafi’s government since the United Nations Security Council authorized air attacks to stop Qaddafi forces killing civilians.
