Chavez: Links with Brazil,
Bolivia Fortify Integration
CARACAS - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez
affirmed on Sunday that relations with
Brazil at the institutional level are so
solid that they are irreversible, while the
Bolivian-Venezuelan unity consolidates as
South American revolutionary axis.
In an assessment of his recent meetings with
Presidents Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva
(Brazil) and Evo Morales (Bolivia), Chavez
recalled that in the first case it was the
9th quarterly meeting agreed as a working
mechanism.
In his Sunday column "Las lineas de Chavez"
(Chavez' Lines), the president noted that he
agreed with Lula to strengthen the
Caracas-Brasilia relations as a strategic
corner stone for regional integration.
"On April 28, we signed 22 agreements in
Brazil to speed up development in the
electrical, petrochemical, financial, and
food sectors, thus increasing bilateral
cooperation," he wrote.
On Morales' visit to Venezuela, Chavez
stressed the signing of 15 treaties in oil,
basic industries and mining, agriculture,
tourism, food, trade, defense, culture,
information, and telecommunications, among
other fields.
In addition, he ratified that as part of
that visit, presidential working meetings
will be held every three months, just like
with Brazil, as entailed by the dynamics of
Bolivia-Venezuela integration. |
