APP/Here: "Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez arrived in Damascus on Thursday evening and went straight into talks with Syrian counterpart Bashar al-Assad, SANA state news agency reported.

Assad "held a session of discussions with President Chavez" to begin the visit which focuses on "strengthening bilateral relations at a regional and international level," the news agency said."The special feature of this visit is the rejection by both countries of unilateralism at the global level and the backing of Damascus and Caracas for a multi-polar world," Syrian television said.

Venezuela and Syria have both had major disputes with the United States.

Chavez's two-day visit is part of a regional tour which has already taken him to Libya and Algeria. Afterwards he is scheduled to go to Iran, Belarus and Russia"
