MEXICO CITY - The foreign ministers of Mexico and Venezuela agreed Thursday in a telephone conversation to cooperate to clarify last week's destruction of a Mexican-registered plane in the Andean nation.

Mexico's Jose Antonio Meade and Venezuelan counterpart Elias Jaua agreed to "exchange information and cooperate to thoroughly clarify the facts," the respective foreign ministries said in a joint communique.

The twin-engine Hawker was forced to land on the night of Nov. 4 as it was flying over Venezuelan territory. Once on the ground, the plane's occupants abandoned the aircraft, which was later destroyed by Venezuelan soldiers.

Since then, Mexico has been asking for answers in the case.
