Paraguay Concerned Over Argentina’s Nuclear Plans
From Bernama
Paraguay has instructed its ambassador in Buenos Aires to collect information on Argentina’s plans to set up a uranium processing plant in the northern province of Formosa neighbouring with the land-locked country.
Argentina’s Federal Planning Minister Julio de Vido recently revealed that the government of President Cristina Fernandez is planning to set up a uranium processing plant belonging to Dioxitek along the border with Paraguay.
Paraguay’s Foreign Minister Eladio Loizaga has admitted that no Argentine authority has informed Asuncion of the plans for a uranium processing plant just across from the shared border river, and anticipated a formal request through diplomatic channels.
