Colombia's Green Party presidential candidate Antanas Mockus said that if elected president he would not allow Venezuela's President Hugo Chávez to export the socialist revolution to his country, as some critics fear.

Mockus pledged to continue the main policies of President Alvaro Uribe if he wins the election, particularly regarding the issue of security and the fight against guerrillas, Reuters reported.

When asked about Chávez's revolution, Mockus answered: "No, categorically no. It is a competition of ideas, a practical competition. If Colombia is in a better shape than Venezuela in four years, there is no better argument to stop eventual exports. But there has been some hysteria," the presidential candidate -who is leading the polls- said at Reuters' Forum on Investment in Latin America.

The Green Party candidate promised to fight corruption to increase foreign investment.
