Venezuela Builds Pipeline Stretching to Argentina
Venezuela has signed an agreement with Argentina to build a natural gas pipeline, supplying energy for Argentina.
The agreement was reached after the meeting between Argentine president Nestor Kirchner and Venezuela president Hugo Chavez on Monday.
The 6,000-kilometre-pipeline is been estimated at 10 billion US dollars.
Commenting on the agreement, Argentinean President Nestor Kirchner said that two countries were taking a "historic step" in deepening ties.
"It is very important what we accomplish this afternoon, what we are signing today, this is a forward step to in the bilateral relation, and I believe an historic one, an historic step that is also a precedent for the region integration."
Venezuela, the world's No. 5 oil exporter, is planning to build a network of pipelines carrying its natural gas to South American markets, and eventually tapping into supplies in Bolivia, in the bottom of South America.
