La Paz, Sep 11 (Prensa Latina) The Bolivian government will promulgate a law Thursday to ratify the Andean country's entry to the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR).

The National Congress approved that rule on September 5, allowing Bolivia’s participation in the regional organization.

The UNASUR Constitutive Treaty was inked by President Evo Morales on May 23 in Brasilia.

According to Senator Roger Pinto, chief of the opposition party Poder Democratico Social in the Senate, that bloc is vital for the establishment of an innovating and important integration process.

"Among UNASUR aims are the continent's sustainable development and welfare, from which Bolivia cannot be isolated," he said.

The regional organization was created three months ago in the Brazilian capital by Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Chile, Venezuela, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Uruguay and Guyana.

Chilean President Michelle Bachelet took over the pro tempore presidency of the entity, with headquarters is in Quito, while the Parliament will settle in the central Bolivian city of Cochabamba.

Bachelet set October 23 for a new Summit of UNASUR heads of State at the beach resort of Vina del Mar.

This meeting will review the development of working groups and prepare the Constitutive Treaty in its parliamentary proceeding in several countries.

Chile also seeks an accord for the General Secretariat of the group.
