Ecuador to be Home to South Am Union



Porlamar, Venezuela, Apr 17 (Prensa Latina) President of Venezuela  
Hugo Chavez announced on Tuesday that the emerging Union of South  
American Nations (UNASUR) will have its headquarters in Quito, near  
the monument that marks the center of the world.

Chavez made the announcement in his opening speech at the first South  
American Energy Summit, which closes sessions today on Margarita Island.

At the suggestion of Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa, all heads of  
State present agreed to locate the UNASUR Permanent Executive Office  
in Quito, said Chavez.

He said a pro-integration effort of the subcontinent, which had been  
brewing since previous top-level regional meetings, was christened here.

This act involves a concept, an identity, an identifying name,  
UNASUR, he stressed, adding that our people must become conscious of  
this force that will have great results for them.
