Date of the photo

I followed the link to the source and found that it describes the meeting as between President Assad and "President" Maduro on March 5, 2007. Of course Maduro wasn't president back then. So I searched for the picture/meeting and found it here described as "October 2009" meeting with "foreign minister" (which he indeed was at the time) Maduro. The archive at venezuelanalysis has this article about a Chavez tour to Syria where he, accompanied by Maduro, met Assad. Date of the article is September 5, 2009. Nothing about a 2007 meeting. TinEye doesn't deliver anything useful and I can't find anything else conclusive. Not that it really matters but I tend to think that the IBTimes has the date wrong as well. --CE (talk) 18:07, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

I don't know when the picture dates from but this Jerusalem Post article from March 5, 2007 has it that according to SANA foreign minister of Venezeula Maduro met Syrian President --Diagonal (talk) 09:52, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
Ah, good find. Makes it more plausible. --CE (talk) 10:37, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
Didnt know about Tineye. I find Yippy useful for searching for pages from a date --Diagonal (talk) 16:08, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
