Venezuela's Chavez proposes new oil producers club

摘要

Caracas-Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez has proposed the creation of a new organization of "giant" oil producing countries that would be separate from OPEC and which would include Russia. Speaking late October 6 in a televised broadcast from the presidential office at Miraflores Palace, Chavez made clear that Venezuela would continue its membership of OPEC, which it helped found in 1960.
