Russia, Venezuela to
Mine Together
Russia and Venezuela are
moving towards the
creation of joint
ventures in their mining
industries, said
Venezuela Deputy
Minister of Basic
Industry Jesus Paredes.
In remarks to
journalists before
leaving for Caracas,
Paredes described as
very fruitful his visit
to Russia as part of a
delegation led by
Executive Vice President
of the Bolivarian
Republic, Ramon
Carrizales.
"We see bright prospects
for the creation of
joint ventures to
produce dishes, hydro
paints and ceramics from
the exploitation of
feldspar and kaolin in
the state of Bolivar,
Venezuela," Paredes
added.
The Venezuelan official
expressed satisfaction
with talks held in this
regard with the
Roskaolin business,
which belongs to the
Russian corporate group
Agapov.
"We hope several
agreements of interest
for both parties can be
signed during President
Chavez coming visit to
Russia," Paredes said to
Prensa Latina.
He cited the preparation
of the next meeting of
the High Level
Intergovernmental
Commission as an
important issue in the
bilateral agenda
discussed during his
visit. |
