The presidents of Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay and Venezuela will
discuss the feasibility of a gas pipeline project at a meeting in
Paraguay next Wednesday, local media reported on Tuesday.
The leaders will discuss the construction of a gas pipeline
linking Bolivia to the other three countries during the talks.
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said on Sunday that Venezuela
would support infrastructure construction and other works of the
pipeline.
Uruguay and Paraguay import 50,000 barrels of crude oil a day
from Venezuela at preferential prices. Bolivia also receives
200,000 barrels of Venezuelan diesel every month.
