Unasur To Tackle Global
Crisis
LIMA - Chilean President
Michelle Bachelet on
Friday urged the Union
of South American
Nations (Unasur) to
tackle the global
financial crisis which
threatens to drag behind
the economic growth of
its member states.
"This crisis will affect
the investments flow and
the import demand in the
zone, and it is a
tragedy for our regional
economy to be retarded
by the crisis," Bachelet
said in the Bolivian
city of Cochabamba.
According to information
reaching here from La
Paz, Bolivia's
administrative capital,
Bachelet called for
actions at a meeting to
tackle the international
financial crisis,
strengthen global
regulations and find new
balance between global
and domestic economy.
"The Unasur will discuss
how to solve the current
financial crisis,"
Bachelet said.
Bachelet's proposal was
supported by her
Bolivian counterpart Evo
Morales.
"I'm sure that we can
solve the social
problems and handle this
financial crisis. It is
not important to ask for
investments and
solutions from the
developed countries,"
Morales said.
