Chávez, Lula to visit Morales

Bolivian President Evo Morales confirmed on Monday a meeting on Friday with his counterparts Luís Inácio Lula da Silva of Brazil and Hugo Chávez of Venezuela, during the opening ceremony of a separating plant of liquefied petroleum gas and gasoline.

"Our regards to President Lula, who will join Venezuela's President Hugo Chávez on Friday to secure some investments in roadways in a supportive, unconditional way," said Morales in the eastern region of Santa Cruz, AP quoted.

The building of the facilities -on the initiative of Chávez and Morales- was awarded to company Catler Uniservice S.R.L. Following an investment of USD 90 million, the plant will yield 260 tons of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) per day and 450 barrels of natural gasoline.

The Bolivian Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed the arrival of the two presidents on July 18th to witness the progress of an inter-oceanic freeway crossing Bolivia and linking the Atlantic with the Pacific.
