Argentina and United Arab Emirates sign nuclear energy agreement
Ministers from Argentina and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have signed a memorandum of understanding on peaceful uses of nuclear energy during the official visit to Abu Dhabi of Argentine president Cristina Fernandez.
The bilateral agreement was signed by UAE Foreign minister Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan and his Argentine counterpart Hector Timmerman, at a ceremony witnessed by President Cristina Fernandez Kirchner and UAE president Khalifa bin Zayed al Nahyan. The deal makes Argentina the ninth country to have signed nuclear ties with the UAE.
Hamad Al Kaabi, the UAE's permanent representative to the International Atomic Energy Agency, said the deal was similar to those signed with other nations. The UAE has signed nuclear agreements with the US, the UK, South Korea, Japan, France, Canada, Russia and Australia since 2009.
“The agreement constitutes a framework which governs and facilitates cooperation in the area of peaceful nuclear energy and related applications between the two countries,” Mr Al Kaabi said. “It allows the transfer of knowledge, technology and nuclear material to the UAE.
”Argentina has a well-developed nuclear sector with multiple nuclear power plants in operation, as well as a strong industry base for nuclear research, human resources development and training, which the UAE is interested to benefit from.”
The country has had two nuclear reactors running in Buenos Aires and Cordoba since 1974, with a third reactor expected to be operational by June.
Cristina Fernandez expressed interest in developing relations in the economic, investment, tourism and space sectors.
Both leaders also agreed on deals involving air transport, fisheries and livestock. The air-transport agreement was signed by Sultan Al Mansouri, Minister of Economy, and Mr Timerman.
The fisheries and livestock agreement was signed by Norberto Yahuar, Argentina's agriculture minister, and Dr Rashid bin Fahad, Minister of Environment and Water.
The third agreement, for peaceful cooperation on space issues, was signed for the Emirates Institution for Advanced Science and Technology, the UAE's space program, and the Argentine National Space Activities Commission, by the foreign ministers.

They won't actually be able to pay for any of it
Yeah that's who I would want running my nuke power plants.
I don't think it will be run responsibly, and I'm thinking a nuclear power plant will be a health and environmental catastrophe waiting to happen. There's a lot of neglected infrastructure that needs to be taken care of first. I have a feeling it will be like other businesses where a couple of fat cats take short cuts, cause a disaster and run away with as much money as they can get away with, as long as she gets a slice.

#17 why sell our the fish when it can be traded for favors. And always remember that they are not your fish if they are cut in Argentine territory. We will do our best fishing in Argentina this decade for you brits to have none, enjoy.
#18 pari passu for all or justice for none. Lol

Friends who stab you in the back can never be trusted,
A pity then he never took his own advice,
CFK and the Argentina government cannot be trusted.

Bloody marvellous, I love it when news of the carrier comes out. Thanks for keeping me posted Briton.
Why don't you go home and help your country NOW.
You are shouting about getting the “illegal aliens out” -how can you do this from Canada. The Canadians have always been close friends of the British so you cannot do anything there. In Argentina you could join CFK's stormtroopers and burn flags, attack the British Embassy, tour operators etc.
So what you are saying is that you are so cowardly that you will let your countrymen lead the charge while you shout from the touchline, out the way of any danger.
Why should anyone, even an Argentinian, give you the time of day ?
@25 So you're a vagrant. Why would anybody kiss your ass. Too many people and animals been up it. Scared of the “English” bullies, are you? You should be. There are many Brits in Canada. Bet you don't say “Boo” to them, cowardly, lickspittle, yellow-striped and yellow-bellied, arsie vagrant. You should go “home” soon. Or “home” might not be there. Knew you'd think you could sniff out a “homo”. As they say, takes one. Are you on someone's pole right now? Only way you'll ever get a backbone. To help with your English, please note that “Poof” is not the same as pouf, don't get excited, and “Bang” can mean other things besides what you like guys, and girls, to do to your ass!
@28 Did you not get the wrong post number? But don't be nasty to the poor slug, alex vargas. He (it) is doing his immature, ineffectual best. Do you think granddaddy was a storm trooper? Or in the SS? Or Gestapo? Or the einsatzgruppen? He sounds like Goebbels. Same sort of big-mouthed, small-brained, self-important, little twat.
Will do ..

Pirate hunter,
We bet no Canadian even knows who you are,
Why you not fly the CFK flag in front of your Canadian house,
We thought you were proud,
Or is it only on bloggs ..

#29 I would rather poison the fish then have the vritish eat it or better yet have the vritish eat the poisoned Argentine fish. Maybe selling fishing rights in Malvinas Argentina to other nations wasn't a good idea but since they don't exist I guess we will go fishing in a none existent Islas Malvinas Argentina. I am sure the boats will be real as well as the fish, the fishermen, their rights to fish in our waters and legal binding documents that go with it, It all matter of time. You might even pay me to visit before the end of this century.

#31 you homo life experiences sounds interesting, the ass bit is more then I needed to know. And you got one thing right I am not just a homofovic, i am a proud homofovic, You can be a proud homo no body stops you from it, be proud and queer.
#32 ask me if I care? Lol I am Argentine after all why would I care what europeans think?
So PH bank rolls terrorist organisations and pays to murder people - interesting. Do the CIA, FBI and RCMP have you in their sights as Public enemy number 1 OR do they think you are a depraved lunatic....... I wonder.
As you are in Canada, you would have to spit some 4,000 miles to hit me, hardly plausible.
I notice you are great fan of T.J.Coles -axis of logic.
He has produced such profound stories such as the USA caused the Haitian earthquakes using sonic technology and the UK is stealing IRAN'S rainfall using weather weapons.
If we were that bloody good, why would we be flooding our own country ?
As I have said before, how can you be a native American with an European name like Vargas ?
