10 percent share of Venezuelan National Oil Company, Iran will start
exporting LNG to Argentina and Cuba.

completed by the end of Iranian calendar year (March 2011) according to
the timetable."

Iranian LNG plant will be established in Venezuela with an annual
production capacity of 5.4 million metric tones of natural gas. Iran
will also help Venezuela to build a LNG plant in Delta Caribe area,
according to the LOI signed by the two countries' oil ministers.
