CARACAS - Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez has finished the post-surgery stage and will begin the second stage of his treatment, Vice President Nicolas Maduro said Sunday.

Maduro said he will share more information about the second stage when he receives the official medical report. The Vice President said this in an interview broadcast by private television company "Televen."

Chavez missed the January 10 inauguration date due to slow recovery from the surgery that he took in December 11 in Havana, causing an uproar from the opposition.

Maduro reaffirmed that "sooner or later" Chavez will return to Venezuela.

"Meanwhile, we have told Chavez, his family and the Venezuelans that the team he has formed is governing and working with the people," he said.
