CARACAS — Venezuela will from May begin selling 80,000 barrels of oil a day to Belarus, President Hugo Chavez said after meeting his Belarussian counterpart.
President Alexander Lukashenko is visiting Caracas to solidify industrial and commercial cooperation between the two nations.
"Even though we have not sold even one barrel of oil to Belarus, we will begin to sell 80,000 barrels of Venezuelan oil to Belarus beginning May 1," Chavez told journalists Monday.
"It will allow us to enter the European market, in the center of Europe, to engage in joint ventures with Belarussian refineries. Belarus is being very generous with us," he added.
