Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez returned home to Caracas on Wednesday after a one-day working visit to Cuba that included an extensive meeting with President Fidel Castro.

First Vice President Raul Castro bid farewell to Chavez at Havana's Jose Marti International Airport. Also on hand were Vice President Carlos Lage, Foreign Minister Felipe Perez Roque, Cuban Ambassador to Venezuela German Sanchez and Venezuelan Ambassador to Cuba Ali Rodriguez.

Raul Castro and Hugo Chavez held talks on several issues earlier in the day after inaugurating a monument in Havana to Venezuelan national independence hero Francisco de Miranda.
