Fernandez postpones trip

[NewsWhore]

President Leonel Fernandez has postponed his trip to the Middle East, according to the Foreign Relations Ministry. Fernandez's trip was centered round the promotion of the expansion of a natural gas terminal in the DR. The President was to make his trip to Qatar next week, but no explanation was provided for the decision to cancel it. The trip, which included a stopover in India, is still scheduled for 2007. Hugo Giuliani Cury, the Dominican ambassador in the Qatari capital Doha, told a local newspaper that the DR could become a regional intermediary for natural gas if the United States decides not to build any more natural gas plants due to safety concerns.
