Bolivian President Evo Morales says that his Venezuelan counterpart, Hugo Chavez is undergoing physiotherapy treatment to return to his country from Cuba.
Chavez underwent a cancer operation in Havana in December weeks after he won his third six-year presidential term.
The Venezuelan president reportedly suffered a lung infection after the surgery and missed the Jan. 10 inauguration ceremony.
Venezuelan Vice President Nicolas Maduro said earlier that Chavez has entered a new post-operative phase of recovery.
