Bolivia's Vice Minister of Energy William Donaire said President Evo Morales is heading to Moscow this month to sign a $3 billion deal with Russian gas giant Gazprom.
Donaire said the trip starts on 16 February.
The Russian delegation is in Bolivia finishing details of the memorandum of understanding for exploration and production, said an Associated Press report.

Donaire said the pact covers development of Bolivia's natural gas industry, creation of a regional gas institute and updates to an earlier deal that also involves France's Total.
