Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa said on Thursday that he may visit his Venezuelan counterpart Hugo Chávez, who is convalescent at a military hospital in Caracas. However, Correa would not specify when he would meet the Venezuelan head of state.

The Ecuadorian leader stressed that in a telephone conversation with Venezuelan Vice-President Nicolás Maduro, he was told that the Venezuelan leader "is recovering and that the treatment is strong."

Correa told the press that during the conversation, he told Maduro that he may travel to Venezuela in the days or weeks ahead.

President Chávez went back to Venezuela on Monday from Havana, where he underwent his fourth cancer surgery last December.

The Venezuelan president was admitted to the Carlos Arvelo Military Hospital, southwest Caracas. No information about his health status has been released by the Government to date.
