Economy
President Hugo Chávez will visit Ecuador on October
28, to follow up the agreements undertaken with state-owned
oil company Petróleos de Venezuela (Pdvsa), reported
on Friday Galo Chiriboga, the Ecuadorian Minister of Mines
and Petroleum.
"This is basically a visit to track the agreements we have
with Pdvsa. We expect to complete the operations and activities
in the Sacha field (in the Amazon region). We also want to
review bilateral energy issues we have with Venezuela," Chiriboga
said on the Ecuadorian public radio, as reported by Efe.
The top official recalled that Ecuador has not only oil operations
in Venezuela, but also in Chile, a country with which Ecuador
organized a few weeks ago a joint venture to explore an area
of the Gulf of Guayaquil in search of natural gas.

Over the past five years, it has been awarded contracts for works to be carried out in Venezuela for over USD 14 billion. This puts it as the first recipient of government-to-government contracts, that is, without bidding, since Hugo Chávez took office.
