Gas Summit fail
Bolivia,
Brazil, Argentina presidents that attended the summit called by
Bolivia to decrease tension over its plans to nationalize its
natural gas industry ended in uncertainty on Thursday. The leaders
failed to reach agreement on proposed price increases and instead
Venezuela's president who also joined the summit, announced the
inclusion of Bolivia in the plans to build a grand gas pipeline
from Venezuela to Argentina. After the meeting, President Néstor
Kirchner of Argentina told reportes the price of Bolivian natural
gas would be discussed in a "rational" manner and set
at a level that would make investments viable. Luiz Inácio
Lula da Silva, president of Brazil, said prices would be discussed
"in the most democratic manner possible".
