Argentina, Brazil,
Bolivia Agree To
Coordinate Energy
Policies
The presidents of
Argentina, Brazil and
Bolivia agreed Saturday
that a ministerial
working group will be
established to
coordinate the three
countries' energy
policies.
Earlier, Argentine
President Cristina
Fernandez held a meeting
with Brazil's Luiz
Inacio Lula da Silva and
Bolivia's Evo Morales.
The working group, which
will be formed by
ministers in charge of
energy affairs, is aimed
at assuring the
sustained economic
growth of the three
South American nations,
Argentine Foreign
Minister Jorge Taiana
told a news conference
after the meeting.
In addition, changes in
the three countries'
energy demand, alternate
energy and Bolivia's
natural gas exports will
also top the agenda of
the working group,
Taiana said.
Brazil gets about half
its natural gas from
Bolivia -- between 27
million and 29 million
cubic meters daily --
while Argentina
generally buys between
2.5 million and 3
million cubic meters
each day.
Under an agreement
reached last year,
Bolivia should increase
its daily exports of
natural gas to Argentina
to 7 million cubic
meters in 2008 |
