Venezuela, Trinidad and Tobago sign oil partnership agreement

CARACAS, Aug. 26, 2018 (BSS/Xinhua) – Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro
and Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago Keith Rowley signed a gas and oil
partnership agreement on Saturday after a meeting between the leaders.

“We have signed a very important document that will permit the generation
of physical and monetary wealth for Venezuela and Trinidad and Tobago, coming
from joint gas fields,” Maduro said, describing the meeting as “intense,
productive, and positive.”

Rowley expressed appreciation to Maduro for agreeing to related
negotiations, adding that he hoped “in the very near future, Venezuelan gas
will reach the international market where it will be monetized for the
benefit of the people of Venezuela and Trinidad and Tobago.”

Maduro called for cultivating good relationships between neighboring
nations of the region and said that Latin America and the Caribbean has
everything necessary to be a strong region.
