LA PAZ, Bolivia (AP) -- Bolivia's leftist president has defended his decision to nationalize the country's natural gas reserves despite objections from foreign governments and energy companies, saying Bolivia is seeking "partners, not owners" to help harvest its natural resources.
President Evo Morales also said he would attend a summit Thursday with the presidents of Argentina, Brazil and Venezuela to discuss Monday's nationalization announcement, which has rattled the region and raised fears it could drive petroleum companies out of South America's poorest nation.
