Chavez greets Iranian ally Ahmadinejad

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad arrived in Caracas Sunday for talks with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, a fellow critic of the United States who strongly defends Iran's controversial nuclear program.

Ahmadinejad, who was warmly greeted by Chavez after landing outside Caracas, will hold two days of talks with his Venezuelan counterpart and sign agreements on energy.

"We have a common thinking, common interests," Ahmadinejad said after his arrival. "We must be united to accomplish these ideas, to reach the objective of peace and justice in the world."
