Ex-US president Jimmy Carter, starting Sunday will spend some four days vacationing in Venezuela along with Venezuelan magnate Diego Cisneros, according to sources connected to the US ex-president.
The 2002 Nobel Peace Prize winner will visit along with his wife the paradise archipelago Los Roques (100 km north of Caracas) "for personal vacation", having been invited by the Cisneros family.
During the visit "no public visits nor official meetings with local authorities have been planned", added sources under conditions of anonymity.
Carter played a vital roll in the recent political crisis in Venezuela which reached its peak with the brief coup d'etat against president Hugo Chávez in 2002 and the 63 day strike that affected the vital oil industry in the country.
The ex-president, with his Carter Center, worked with PNUD and the Organization of American States (OAS) to resolve the crisis by organizing and observing a referendum on the Chavez government, who won August 15 with 60% of the vote, but with accusations of supposed fraud.
Carter and Cisneros have maintained a long personal relationship that showed in June of 2004 when the ex-president set up a meeting between Cisneros and Chávez to lower tensions between the two.
Chávez has publicly accused the magnate of promoting and financing a conspiracy against his government up until the date of the meeting organized by ex-president Carter.
