Costa Rica Invited To
Join Petrocaribe
The Ministerial Council
of Petrocaribe invited
Costa Rica to join the
energy alliance.
Roberto Dobles, Costa
Rica's ministro de
ambiante y energia (MINEAE)
- Minister of
Environment and Energy -
announced that the
Petrocaribe's
Ministerial Council
invited the Costa Rica
to join the energy
agreement as an active
member.
Dobles said that Costa
Rica's delegation
received the formal
invitation last weekend
during their visit to
Maraciabo, Venezuela,
where the Costa Rican
delegation was invited
to participate as
observer of the Fifth
Extraordinary
Petrocaribe Summit.
The minister said that
the proposal is "very
positive" for Costa
Rica, since the Central
American country is a
net importer of crude
oil and has been deeply
affected, from a social
and economic point of
view, by skyrocketing
oil prices. |
