Nicaragua President to
Ecuador
Nicaragua President
Daniel Ortega is to
arrive in Monday to this
capital to analyze
bilateral links with his
Ecuadorian counterpart
Rafael Correa.
Ortega will be welcomed
by Correa at the
Carondolet Palace, where
both parties are to
examine energy and food
cooperation, as well as
issues of international
interest, diplomatic
sources reported here.
It is expected that a
group of citizens gather
at the outskirts of the
Carondelet Palace to
welcome the Nicaraguan
statesman.
After meeting with the
Ecuadorian governor,
Ortega will visit the
Chapel of Man, a complex
designed by famous
painter Oswaldo
Guayasamin, where he
will meet with the
country's main political
and cultural figures.
The presence of Ortega
in Quito takes place 24
hours before the arrival
to the Ecuadorian
province of Manabi of
Venezuelan Head of State
Hugo Chavez, who will
attend along with Correa
the opening ceremony of
the construction of the
Pacific's petrochemical
refining complex.
This work, the most
important in the history
of this country, will
have a cost close to $10
billion and be
constructed by state
Petroecuador and
Petroleos de Venezuela.
The plant will refine
300,000 barrels of oil
per day and produce
fertilizers and
agrochemical products,
which will be a
fundamental step for the
Ecuadorian food
security. |
