Chile to decide "eventually" between Venezuela and Guatemala

Any support to Venezuela or Guatemala to join the United Nations (UN) Security Council will be decided few days before voting, Chilean Foreign Minister Alejandro Foxley said Wednesday.

"It is not a topic to be discussed at this current moment. There is still time enough. Therefore, we will make our decision well at the end," the minister told Santiago's Radio Cooperative in New York, as quoted by AFP.

Election of the new temporary members at the UN Security Council will take place next October 16th.

In New York, Chilean President Michelle Bachelet planned to meet with her counterparts Hugo Chávez of Venezuela and Oscar Berger of Guatemala, within the framework of the UN General Assembly.

This is the least that President Hugo Chávez has uttered to refer to the US government. In urging the Bolivarian Armed Forces to prepare for war, he said that a US raid on Venezuela through Colombia would trigger and spread over the region "the 100-year war."
