CARACAS (Reuters) - The Venezuelan government on Wednesday said it was recalling its ambassador in Brazil over what it described as "repeated interventionist and rude statements" from Brasilia, adding it was also summoning Brazil's business envoy for talks.
In a statement, Venezuela's foreign ministry singled out the Brazilian president's top foreign policy advisory Celso Amorim for "acting more like a messenger for North American imperialism" and accusing him of being "impertinently dedicated to issuing value judgments on processes that only correspond to Venezuelans and their democratic institutions."
