Reaction from around the world to the death of Venezuela’s president, Hugo Chavez, has been swift.
US President Barack Obama, in a statement, called Chavez’s passing as a “challenging time” for Venezuela.
“The United States reaffirms its support for the Venezuelan people and its interest in developing a constructive relationship with the Venezuelan government,” Obama said. “As Venezuela begins a new chapter in its history, the United States remains committed to policies that promote democratic principles, the rule of law, and respect for human rights.”
Ban Ki-Moon, the UN secretary-general, said he is “conveying condolence” to the Venezuelan president’s “family and the people of Venezuela”, according to Al Jazeera.
Vitaly Churkin, Russia’s ambassador to the UN, also issued as statement describing Chavez’s death as a “tragedy”.
“He was a great politician for his country and for the world as a whole,” he said.
Chavez died on Tuesday afternoon after a two-year battle with cancer.

The death of Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez will leave a void in regional and world politics.Despite the criticisms leveled against the late President by many, he was a true friend of Dominica. I do hope his passing does not affect the strong and affectionate friendship started between Dominica and Venezuela many years ago.
My condolences to the Chavez family and Government and people of Venezuela on the passing of a great world leader.REST IN PEACE COMRADE

My deepest condolences to the family and people of Venezuela.
Mr. Hugo Chavez,
You knew from the start that you were going, but you could not bear to see your loved ones mourn your impending passing so you kept up the front. You loved and cared to the very end.
You are now free of your great burden of cares for the underlings of this world that you carried on your broad shoulders.
Via con Dios, Oh Friend of the poor! May chariots of purity take you to your next existence, and may there be Angels of love and mercy tending and guiding your big loving soul.
May your family, representatives, nation and friends be comforted.
For he that is dead is freed from sin Romans 6:7 It’s a road we all must walk therefor lets leave peaceable with each other
