Venezuela 2007
According to ezinereligion, in 2007, the population of Venezuela was estimated to be 26 million people. The economy was largely based on oil and had a GDP of $260 billion. Foreign relations were mainly with its Latin American neighbours such as Colombia, Brazil and Argentina, as well as other developed countries around the world. In 2007, the country was led by President Hugo Chávez, who had been in power since 1999. During his presidency, Chávez sought to reduce poverty and improve economic growth by introducing reforms such as subsidies for basic goods and services and land reform programs. He also sought to strengthen ties with other left-leaning governments in Latin America while maintaining strong ties with traditional allies such as the United States and European Union countries.
