| CARACAS – On Friday, in a show of solidarity with Hugo Chavez, President Rousseff defended Venezuelan partnership in the construction of a major refinery in Pernambuco. In her first official visit to Venezuela, Dilma was received by a Venezuelan leader ailing from cancer treatments in Cuba, and who has been unable to raise the bank loans necessary for his country's participation in the Abreu e Lima refinery project in the north-eastern Brazilian state of Pernambuco.
