Hugo Chavez Cancer Surgery: Bolivia's President Evo Morales

CARACAS, Venezuela ? Venezuelan Vice President Nicolas Maduro says he has spoken by phone with President Hugo Chavez and that the leader is up and walking following cancer surgery in Cuba.

Maduro told state television that he spoke with Chavez for about 20 minutes on Monday night. He said the president was walking and doing some exercises. He added that Chavez was in a good mood and had given him guidance on budgetary matters for 2013.

It was the first time a top Venezuelan government official had confirmed speaking personally with Chavez since the Dec. 11 surgery.

Venezuelan officials have given little specific information on Chavez's condition or his long-term prognosis.
