[AlphaCentauri]

Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez would go to the United States if U.S. counterpart Barack Obama invites him to visit the country, Venezuelan ambassador Bernardo Alvarez said upon returning to Washington after the normalizing of bilateral diplomatic relations.

“Of course he would come,” he said in a statement to reporters at the airport in the U.S. capital in which he hailed the end of the diplomatic crisis between the two nations.

The ambassador admitted that he has hopes of achieving a new relationship between the two countries because “the continent is changing and it would be petty not to understand that in the United States there has been a significant change.”
