From a press release by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry of Panama:
Having submitted a bid of $50 million, the construction firm Sánchez Carvajal will build the road between Bajos de Chilamate and the town of Vuelta Kooper.
The construction of this road is considered strategic because it will shorten the distance between Bajos de Chilamate in Sarapiqui and Vuelta Kooper in San Carlos by 69%, from a distance of 87.32 km to 27.09 km and increase current average speeds of 50 km/h to 80km/h, taking a straighter and less mountainous route.

Countries in the region began discussions on Tuesday, part of a series of summits to create a shield against the global crisis.
The discussions at the beach resort of Costa do Sauipe, in the north of Brazil, began when host president, Luiz Lula da Silva, inaugurated the bi-annual summit of Mercosur, which was plagued by setbacks.
Leaders from throughout the region were also invited, including the president of Cuba, Raul Castro, who gave his colleagues a greeting from his brother, Fidel.

The meeting, which will be held on December 16 & 17 at Costa de Sauipe, a resort close to the Brazilian city of Salvador de Bahia (in the northeast), will seek to promote greater cooperation between the various regional integration mechanisms.
