Maduro says Venezuela is ready to export gas to Colombia

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said his country is ready to export gas to Colombia for the first time. In mid-June, both countries agreed to create a binational economic zone to boost production and trade, with an emphasis on energy. "The gas is already at the border, ready to be sent to Colombia.

A few technical and economic details remain to be finalized, and then the gas will be sent," said Maduro. He added that the Peoples of Venezuela and Colombia “are increasingly united in an increasingly integrated, more prosperous economy, with growing trade with growing binational investments.”
