Along the lines of Hugo Chavez's popularity with other world leaders, he may have ingratiated himself with the French President, Nicolas Sarkozy. Sarkozy is dealing with a hostage situation; a French-Colombian woman who was running for the Colombian presidency was kidnapped by FARC. He has expressed a willingness to personally travel to Colombia to help alleviate the situation, and Hugo Chavez, despite having lost "all contact with FARC" is willing to accompany him on the trip to try and free the hostage.
This helps to demonstrate Chavez's knack for publicity and friendliness with other world leaders. Regardless of his merits as a leader of a country, he is skilled in politics and knows how to market himself well.
