President Leonel Fernandez arrived in the Colombian capital Bogota last night, and is about to embark on a busy agenda that includes the signing of an energy agreement. Fernandez is scheduled to meet with President Alvaro Uribe to sign a joint statement in the house of government. Fernandez wants to emulate Colombia’s alternative energy programs in the DR, especially wind energy and the production of carbureting alcohol from sugar cane. The DR will have access to a credit line offered by the state-owned Banco de Comercio Exterior de Colombia (Bancoldex), which will be used for the acquisition of oil and coal. Fernandez will also visit the seat of the Supreme Court of Justice where he will be received by the court’s president, Dr. Carlos Isaac Nader. Later he will address Colombia’s National Congress where a plenary session is being held in honor of his visit. He will be received by the President of Congress Claudia Blue Barberi. President Fernandez is also scheduled to be awarded the keys to the city of Bogota by the Mayor.
