San Salvador - Farabundo Marti Liberation Front (FMLN)
leader Medardo González on Sunday said
Venezuela will increase its oil supply to El
Salvador when President-elect Mauricio Funes
takes office on June 1st.
According to Gonzalez, the agreement may be
signed on the same day of Funes'
presidential inauguration. Venezuelan
President Hugo Chavez is expected to attend
the ceremony, along with dozens of heads of
state from around the world.
The agreement will help increase oil
supplies already benefitting the country's
capital San Salvador through the FMLN mayor's
office and the ALBANISA joint venture.
The current agreement states that $0.40 out
of every dollar paid by El Salvador to
Venezuela is to be invested in social
programmes in the Central American nation.
Gonzalez said Venezuela could increase
current oil supply up to 10,000 barrels a
day.
El Salvador may also received medical
assistance from Venezuela, particularly with
the Operation Miracle, which provides free
eye care to low-income and poor families.
Funes visited Venezuela last week, and
thanked Chavez for helping El Salvador face
the global economic crisis. |
