Chinese president Hu Jintao made telephone calls to Chilean president Michelle Bachelet and the Venezuelan president Hugo Rafael Chávez Frías conveying his decision to cancel the state-visits because of the emergency in China, where a 7.1-earthquake hit Qinghai province.

The two visits have to be put off, and will be rescheduled later.
