CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) - The presidents of Venezuela and Colombia have pledged to put aside their differences after a bitter spat.
The governments of Venezuela's Hugo Chavez and Colombia's Alvaro Uribe issued statements Thursday night saying the two had spoken by phone and agreed to meet in person — a major shift after recently trading accusations and insults.
The governments said the leaders plan to meet soon to strengthen relations after their confrontation over the Colombian military's March 1 cross-border attack in Ecuador that killed 25 people, including a Colombian rebel leader. It was unclear how soon their meeting could take place.
