BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - Representatives of Argentina, Canada, Australia, Mexico, Chile, and the United States said in a joint statement on Monday they would not recognise the result of Venezuela's presidential election held on Sunday.

"Taking into account the lack of legitimacy of the electoral process we do not recognise the results of (Sunday's) election ... which excluded the participation of some political actors," said Argentina's Foreign Minister Jorge Faurie.
