MANAGUA, Nicaragua (AP) _ Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has a message for future U.S. and European leaders: Treat Latin America with respect.

Chavez says Washington and the European Union “must respect the sovereignty of the Latin American people.”

Chavez also says a widely criticized new EU rule on illegal immigration will be a central part of his agenda during an upcoming European tour. He repeated previous warnings that Venezuela could expel investors from countries that apply the new rules.
