Colombian, Venezuelan
presidents to open gas
pipeline
Colombian President
Alvaro Uribe and his
Venezuelan counterpart
Hugo Chavez will open a
gas pipeline linking the
two countries on Friday,
Foreign Minister
Fernando Araujo said on
Monday.
"We have planned a
meeting for the
presidents to open the
bi-national gas
pipeline," he said
without detailing where
the meeting would take
place.
The 177-km pipeline cost
335 million U.S. dollars
and links the Colombian
region of Punta Ballenas
in the northern province
of Guajira and the
Venezuelan city of
Maracaibo.
"We have also invited
Ecuador's Rafael Correa
because we have thought
about the pipeline
reaching Ecuador and
possibly Peru and
Bolivia," Araujo said.
During the pipeline's
first phase, Colombia
will supply Venezuela
with 200 million cubic
feet of gas. Later,
Venezuela will use the
same pipeline to supply
gas to Colombia and
Panama. |
