He didn't, as promised, hug the King.

But after keeping the Spanish monarch waiting for an hour at his Majorca palace, Venezuela's president Hugo Chávez was nevertheless smiling and effusive, cracking jokes in an effort to put the harsh words of yesteryear behind him.

Juan Carlos I met the Venezuelan leader with a warm smile, shaking hands and affectionately patting him on the arm. “Thanks for making the effort to come,” the king said. “I'm happy to see you....”

King Juan Carlos sparked a diplomatic row at a summit in November when he lost his royal composure and shouted: “Why don't you shut up?” at the Venezuelan leader.
