COLOMBIA-REGION: Preparing for Unasur's debate over 'US bases'
The issue of the agreement whereby Colombia grants the US access to at least three, and possibly as many as seven air, army and naval bases, which was ducked by the Union of South American Nations (Unasur) at a regular summit in Quito [WR-09-32], is to be the object of a two-step treatment by the subregional organisation. On 24 August it will be discussed at meetings of Unasur's foreign ministers and the CDS (the South American defence council) scheduled to take place in Quito. Four days later it will be considered by an extraordinary Unasur summit in Bariloche, Argentina.
