The government of Colombia is planning to broaden financial opportunities within a package of cooperation projects with the DR for the import of gasoline and coal for the operation of electric generators. As reported in Listin Diario, Colombian Ambassador Jorge Enrique Garavito Furan stated that a trip by President Fernandez to Colombia is being planned for 27 to 29 September, for him to meet with Colombian President Alvaro Uribe in order to discuss the set of cooperation projects being considered. The diplomat said that the DR is Colombia’s main export market for fuels, particularly gasoline.

He added that the interest is to adjust that agreement to the DR’s current needs through more acceptable financing mechanisms for the payment of the oil bill.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
