TT: Aluminium smelt plant coming

After years of negotiations between two different administrations and several foreign investors, Government will today take what may be the penultimate step in establishing a multi-million dollar aluminium smelter in Trinidad and Tobago.

Prime Minister Patrick Manning will this morning sign a Memorandum of Understanding on behalf of Government with a foreign group in a ceremony at the Hilton Trinidad.

A statement from the Ministry of Energy said the MOU will "form the basis for the establishment of an aluminium industry in Trinidad and Tobago".

It did not name the foreign group which will sign the MOU.
