Chavez said the situation with Colombia is similar.
"It's like the case of Spain. Until the king of Spain apologizes, I'm freezing relations with Spain," Chavez said.
"President Chavez, the truth is you can't set fire to the continent like you do, talking one day against Spain, the next day against the United States ... You can't mistreat the continent, lighting it up like you do and speaking of imperialism when you -- based on your budget -- want to create an empire," Uribe replied.
