Chavez rival vows to boost private oil investment

摘要

Caracas-Manuel Rosales, the main candidate to face Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez in presidential elections on December 3, has said that, if elected, he will seek more private sector investment in Venezuela's oil industry. "I'm going to clear up all of the conditions of respect and trust so that national and foreign investors invest in Venezuela," Rosales told Platts after a press conference with foreign media November 21. "No society advances or modernizes without an alliance with the private sector."
