BBC NEWS | Americas | Chavez offers to hug Spain's king

Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez has offered a hug to King Juan Carlos of Spain - who famously told him to "shut up" during a row last year.

The left-wing president, who will visit Spain later this week, said he had already "turned the page" on the spat.

"I'd like to give the king a hug, but you know, Juan Carlos, that I am not going to shut up," Mr Chavez said.

The incident made global headlines last November - inspiring jokes, songs and even mobile phone ringtones.

Not. Honesty is the best policy.

It is a bit of a joke that I find this on ET, not an American site.
