During the exchange, the objectives of the 2030 agenda for Latin America and the Caribbean and the objectives for the sustainable development of the region were discussed, which seek increased cohesion and mutual support among the member countries of the organization.
Topics related to the XIX Alba Summit and international cooperation agreements were also addressed in the areas of human development, economic development and close ties with other Caribbean islands.
In this tour of several ALBA countries, the executive secretary has visited other member states of the Alliance, such as Cuba last March.
The ALBA-TCP, as an international organization, seeks to unify the member countries in political, ideological and economic matters and realize the dream of Próceres as Bolivar and José Martí, which wanted to make Latin America and the Caribbean a single front.
Other members of the Alliance include Bolivia, Nicaragua, Dominica, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Grenada and Saint Lucia; and special guests include Syria, Haiti and Suriname.
