Foreign policy of Hugo Chávez has to be updated. Important elements missing: Venezuela looking for a seat in the UN Security Council and recent trips (Africa summit and Belarus-Russia-Qatar-Iran tour). Also we need to rewrite the summary in the main article JRSP 08:44, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
I think this article lacks balance, not as much in the sense of POV but in the relative importance of each country in Venezuela's foreign relations. Some examples: Peru has a big subsection while Colombia is practically neglected, Iran and Libya have more or less the same coverage when relations with Libya are basically OPEC bussiness while ties with Teheran are closer, for instance, Petropars and other Iranian companies have investments in Venezuela.

Chavez's own statements and policies are anti-US. DO you want me to give you five sources, ten, twenty, thirty? How many do you want? It IS his policy, and it has weight. Sandy 01:45, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
" Foreign policy of Hugo Chávez" claims that the US government did not recognise Pedro Carmonas government, while " United States-Venezuela relations" claims that it did.
I haven't had much luck. I checked with a couple of Congressional Research Service reports, assuming that something written by the U.S. government would make it clear, but they don't say either way. The best I could come up was this paragraph from "Latin America and the Caribbean: Legislative Issues in 2001-2002, (December 6, 2002)":
In the aftermath of Chavez's brief ouster in April 2002, the United States expressed solidarity with the Venezuelan people, commended the Venezuelan military for refusing to fire on peaceful demonstrators, and maintained that undemocratic actions committed or encouraged by the Chavez administration provoked the political crisis. In contrast to the United States, many Latin American nations condemned the overthrow of Chavez, labeling it a coup. However, the United States did support an OAS resolution that condemned the "alteration of constitutional order in Venezuela."
I can't find a link to the report online, so I understand if it isn't considered verifiable. As for what to say about recognition, I think that saying what the U.S. didn't do would work, and mentioning how the U.S. differed from other Latin American countries. How about "The United States, unlike many Latin American countries, did not initially condemn the overthrow of Chavez or label it as a coup"? MorrisGregorian 01:26, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
The supposed sources of this claim say nothing about this. Shouldn't this be removed until someone finds a source for this? ( 72.181.194.88 02:32, 7 December 2006 (UTC))
How come one of the most important countries in HC's foreign policy is completely neglected while we have long sections about Lybia and Israel? JRSP 20:32, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
I was wondering the exact same thing, Colombia isn't simply a minor neighbour of Venezuela, it's one of his main commercial allies and major political obstacles. Mr Chavez almost went to war with this country during the Andean Crisis, and the relationship with Uribe has been "difficult" to say the least. Colombia is one of tyhe last standing pro american countries in South America. I will try to add as much information as I can, but I don't have time to add the respective sources. They are easily available on the web, though. Specially on the web pages on both Colombian and Venezuelan newspapers, like El Tiempo or El Universal. -- XMaster4000 ( talk) 07:37, 20 November 2008 (UTC) XMaster4000
Colombia has been one of the biggest political rivals of the current Venezuelan government Please source. There are more statements of similar nature that violate WP:V. Further, INTERPOL findings about information related to Chavez contained in Raul Reyes' laptops merits mention.-- Alekboyd ( talk) 16:08, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
Iuugo Chavez illegal support of FARC should be on the page Solarsheen ( talk) 23:27, 23 September 2009 (UTC) agree H I agee Columbia should have more of a focus and Chavez's suport of FARC needs to be mentioned, see NYT article http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/05/world/americas/05venez.html?scp=1&sq=FARC%20laptops&st=cse Tannim1 ( talk) 14:58, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

Image:Chavez04 fidel9.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

This article uses several images that were uploaded with "fair use" tags. A quality control volunteer nominated them for deletion. Personally I think their nomination was weak, because they seemed unwilling or unable to take the time to address the good-faith explanation the uploaders placed on the images. But, there is another problem. My understanding is that the wikipeedia's rules for fair use don't allow an article to bear more than one fair-use article. Geo Swan ( talk) 03:14, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
no mentions of russia in here? its been growing soldily in the last weeks

In said subsection, an editor wrote this closing remark: "The more astute Haggard was concerned about the effects Roberson's remarks would have on US corporate and evangelical missionaries' interests in Venezuela."
Questions: How did he/she find that Haggard is "more astute"? How does he/she know Haggard "was concerned" about that? That's either pure POV or just speculation. This is an Encyclopedia, remember! -- AVM ( talk) 20:52, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
A recent edit has added that [... a raid by the Colombians on FARC bases inside the Ecuadorian border] produced evidence of support of FARC by Hugo Chavez. This information is sourced on an opinion article by Diego Arria, a well-known figure of Venezuelan oposition. An opinion article cannot be used to source an statement of fact; if the opinion is considered relevant, per WP:BLP it should be attributed to Arria. JRSP ( talk) 13:43, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
I don't know if you are refering to my recent added information from the NYT which is from the NYT and is not written by Diego Arria. Tannim1 ( talk) 15:56, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
the tag was on for nearly 2 years with no discussion on going. I have thus edited adn removed the tag (although the grammar was pretty awful and in need of a copy edit too) Lihaas ( talk) 10:22, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
The article lacks the relations towards one of the most important partners, Spain. Bakulan ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 21:21, 7 January 2011 (UTC).
