Beijing (AFP) April 5, 2009
Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez is due to arrive in China on Tuesday for a two-day visit, the Asian nation's foreign ministry said Sunday, following a trip to Iran and Japan.

"At the invitation of President Hu Jintao, Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez will pay a working visit to China from April 7 to 9," foreign ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu said in an online statement.

Venezuela and China have close relations in a variety of fields from energy to finance and industry.

Last year, Venezuela launched its first geostationary satellite thanks to cooperation with China.

Caracas recently purchased a fleet of 18 K-8 reconnaissance and training aircraft from Beijing with delivery expected in January 2010.

Chavez last visited China in September 2008.
