(Adds details on meeting, agreements)
MEXICO CITY, April 5 (Reuters) - Leaders of 11 Latin
American and Caribbean countries agreed to work to outline
measures seeking to tame inflation in the region, including
better conditions for trade, according to a statement published
by Mexico's presidential office Wednesday.
Agreements reached include the creation of a working group
of government representatives aimed at identifying regional
measures to coordinate the trade of commodities, fertilizers and
other goods.
The group's action plan is set to be implemented "within
a reasonable time frame," the statement added.
Heads of state from Argentina, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil,
Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Honduras, Mexico, Venezuela, and Saint
Vincent and the Grenadines participated in a virtual meeting on
Wednesday and agreed to schedule an anti-inflation summit for
May 6-7 in Mexico.
The new anti-inflation alliance also agreed to invite more
countries from the region to take part, the statement said.
