Latin American Research Centre Proudly Presents
SPOTLIGHT ON VENEZUELA
Award-Winning Venezuelan Writer
Margarita López-Maya
At a Luncheon, Wednesday, April 16, 2003
Alberta Room, Fairmont Palliser Hotel

Registration 11.30 a.m.  Lunch 12.00 noon  Presentation 12.30 p.m. Discussion 1.15 p.m.

The current political situation in Venezuela is at best, fragile. This state of affairs should concern us all. Through  its oil company and its subsidiaries, Venezuela has a considerable stronghold on the US energy supply.  In several sub-sectors, such as exports of petroleum products to the US and the production of heavy crude, the country is a direct competitor of Canada. At the same time, the intense demand for specialized personnel and equipment in Venezuela creates a unique opportunity for Alberta companies – that of doing abroad what they do best at home.

Political observer Margarita Lopez-Maya will give luncheon guests a privileged insider’s overview of the current situation. Her insightful comments are guaranteed to provide a perspective that Calgarians have seldom, if ever, been exposed to. This is a rare opportunity not to be missed by anyone with an interest in South America.
