Colombia considers transoceanic canal
Article Abstract:
Colombia is planning a new transoceanic canal near to the Panamanian border, competing with the US owned Panama Canal. A rail link between the two seas, or a conventional water canal are being considered in a study of possible schemes. However the plan has been criticised as impractical and is seen by some as an attempt to divert attention from the current political crisis in the country.
