Uruguay's Mujica to attend possible Chávez's inauguration

Uruguayan President José Mujica will travel next Wednesday to an unknown destination to attend the possible inauguration of Hugo Chávez as President of Venezuela, told AFP a source of the Uruguayan Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Mujica will travel with Deputy Minister Roberto Conde, said the source, who would not elaborate on the trip.

The Uruguayan Senate, currently in recess, was summoned for a special meeting on Tuesday to vote on Mujica's authorization to leave the country from Wednesday, for more than 48 hours. However, the request did not specify Mujica's destination.
