VENEZUELA/COLOMBIA: No Reconciliation Until Uribe Leaves.

COLOMBIA REPORTS/    Venezuela's current Foreign Minister Nicolas Maduro says "We must await the outcome of presidential elections in Colombia and await the arrival of a new president to go forward. All that can be done today is to focus on creating conditions for the time." Maduro hopes that "with the new Colombian president clear relations can be established, based on the respect of our country."
Maduro insisted that Uribe "turned Bogota into a center of conspiracy against the stability of our country and the region."
