CARACAS, March 31 (Xinhuanet) -- Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez reiterated Wednesday that his government rejects the United States' interference in the internal affairs of other nations, specifically in Haiti and Venezuela.

    Chavez called for nonrecognition of the current Haitian government during a ceremony held at the Teresa Carrelo theater inthe Venezuelan capital Caracas for granting credits to small businessmen.

    "My government does not recognize the one (government) placed by the United Stated in Haiti and we call on the other countries of the continent, as the Caribbean Community and Common Market (Caricom) has already done, to pronounce this," he said.

    He indicated that "only unity among us will guarantee respect for sovereignty."

    Chavez questioned the role of the Organization of American States (OAS), whose voice over Haiti's situation is absent, sayingthat "silence in this case is remarkable."

    Deploring the OAS's failure to made pronouncement on this case and the international human rights organizations' "silence, eternal silence", the Venezuelan leader said, "This world is full of hypocrisy."

    He also said Wednesday afternoon that the Venezuelan Ambassadorto the United States Jorge Valero "will give a speech that I approved, in which all this perverse interventionist plan waged bythe government of Washington against Venezuela will be denounced."

    He said that once again the voice of Venezuela will be heard denouncing US President George W. Bush for getting his hands in Venezuelan affairs.

    "Venezuela is respected and here we are the Venezuelan patriotswilling to defend our sovereignty, our territorial integrity, our democracy, the Constitution and the republican institutions," Chavez declared. Enditem
