Venezuela to Supply All Belarus Oil Needs

Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez promised to supply the oil needs of Belarus for years to come Saturday, while Belarus' President agreed to beef up Venezuela's military.

As Lukashenko concluded his first visit to Venezuela, Chavez said both he and his counterpart were wrongly labeled "dictators" by Washington and their critics.

Venezuela and Belarus share similarly hostile stances toward Washington.

Chavez presented Lukashenko with a medal, and they signed an agreement pledging military cooperation.
