“This is the Alliance of solidarity and cooperation, victorious over the selfish pragmatism that only bets on profits and the market”.
This was stated by Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Party and President of the Republic of Cuba, while speaking yesterday at the 23rd Summit of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America-People’s Trade Agreement (ALBA-TCP), held at the Miraflores Palace, in Caracas, Venezuela.
He expressed his desire for the region to continue to be internationally recognized for its commitment to regional peace and stability.
“We reaffirm our most absolute commitment to unity, the defense of our sovereignties and peace.”
The President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro Moros, urged the ALBA-TCP heads of state and government to strengthen the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) to advance integration, establishing short-, medium- and long-term goals.
Gaston Browne, Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda, demanded that Cuba be removed from the arbitrary list of State Sponsors of Terrorism. “They know it’s not true, we all know it’s not true,” he said.
Likewise, Daniel Ortega, President of Nicaragua, considered the interference in the negotiations between Venezuela and Guyana over the Essequibo territory as interference and a crime on the part of the US.
At the end of the day, the Declaration of the 23rd  Summit of Heads of State and Government of ALBA-TCP and the Strategic Agenda 2030 were adopted.

Cuba’s National Assembly of People’s Power, on its last day of debates this Wednesday, will have a moment dedicated to the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America-People’s Trade Agreement (ALBA-TCP).

The extraordinary session will commemorate the 18th anniversary of the creation of the regional mechanism, as well as the years of cooperation, solidarity, and Latin American and Caribbean integration among the countries of the bloc.

ALBA-TCP was created on December 14, 2004, through an agreement signed in Havana between the then presidents of Venezuela, Hugo Chávez, and Cuba, Fidel Castro, as a response to the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA), promoted by the United States and finally rejected by Latin America in Mar del Plata, Argentina, in 2005.

Since its creation, it has maintained solidarity, justice, and cooperation as fundamental principles of the existing relations between member states.

It is also a political, economic, and social alliance in defense of the independence, self-determination, and identity of the people, by its precepts.

Venezuela, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Dominica, Antigua and Barbuda, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Saint Lucia, Saint Kitts, Nevis, Grenada, and Cuba are members of this political coordination mechanism.

Esteemed Heads of State and Government of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America;
Esteemed Heads of delegations and guests;
Compañeras and compañeros:



ALBA brings us together today to reaffirm our firmest support for the Bolivarian people and government in the face of the latest interventionist measures and threats from the U.S. government against Venezuela.
The facts demonstrate that history can not be ignored. The relations between the United States and Latin America and the Caribbean have been marked by the “Monroe Doctrine” and the objective of exercising domination and hegemony over our nations.
