Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has urged Colombian President-elect Juan Manuel Santos to close US military bases in the country to show a change of attitude toward the neighboring countries. <br/>At the closing session of the 10th Summit of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Americas (ALBA) in Otavalo, Ecuador, Chavez also asked Santos to recognize the raid by the Colombian Army in Ecuadorian territory was a "rude mistake." Relations between Colombia and Ecuador have been strained since 2008 when Colombian forces launched a cross-border raid against a camp of the rebel Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) in Ecuadorian territory. The "Otavalo Declaration" issued at the end of the two-day ALBA summit called on member states to further consolidate a trade agreement among them and seek inclusion mechanisms for natives and Afro-descendants to apply intercultural and multi-nationality principles.<br/>
