The XXI Summit of Heads of State and Government of the Bolivarian Alternative for the Peoples of Our America-Peoples Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP) will take place in Havana, Cuba, next Friday, it was announced this Tuesday.
This was reported by the Alliance on its Twitter account and by the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs on its website.
In the forum, the nations that make up the alliance “will share common development strategies and analyze the regional political situation,” the announcement said.
The meeting will host leaders of Latin American and Caribbean countries that make up the grouping bloc, founded in 2004 at the initiative of Fidel Castro and Hugo Chávez, then presidents of Cuba and Venezuela.
ALBA-TCP emphasizes the fight against social exclusion through collaboration and complementation mechanisms.
The summit in Havana will take place days before the IX Summit of the Americas begins in Los Angeles, whose host, the United States government, excluded Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela.
Such decision provoked the rejection of governments of the hemisphere, including members of ALBA-TCP.
