Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez (L) shows Paraguay on a map of South America to his Iranian counterpart Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (R) on the day in which Paraguayan lawmakers impeached their president Fernando Lugo over his handling of a deadly land dispute, during a meeting at Miraflores presidential palace in Caracas on June 22, 2012. Chavez hosted Ahmadinejad on Friday to ink a series of deals, just a week after boasting about collaboration with Tehran on a drone project. Chavez, who has been battling cancer for more than a year and faces a tough re-election contest in October, has expressed 'solidarity' with key ally Iran as it faces growing pressure over its suspect nuclear program.
