Venezuela May Talk With Iran About Developing Nuclear Power

Venezuela is interested in beginning talks with Iran on the possibility of developing nuclear power as an alternative power source in this oil-rich nation, President Hugo Chavez said.

“We must start working on the nuclear (energy) issue,” Chavez, speaking during his weekly radio and television program “Hello President,” said Sunday.

“If we had the technical capacity and the resources right now, we would participate in this effort because it’s one of the paths toward diversifying energy sources,” Chavez added, without indicating whether he had broached the subject with Iranian officials.
