This Sunday, the Bolivarian Alliance of the Peoples of Our America-Peoples' Trade Agreement (ALBA-TCP), through a statement, celebrates the entry of the Republic of Cuba and the Plurinational State of Bolivia to the BRICS.

Here is the full statement:

The Member States of the Bolivarian Alliance of the Peoples of Our America-Peoples' Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP) applaud with satisfaction the sisters and brothers of the Republic of Cuba and the Plurinational State of Bolivia for joining the BRICS block as partners, which constitutes an important step towards a multipolar world.

For the Bolivarian Alliance, it is a source of joy to know that two member countries are part of a platform that emerges with increasing force to work to strengthen multilateralism for a more democratic world order; the deepening of cooperation for stability and global security; the expansion of financial and economic cooperation for equitable development; the promotion of exchange for the socio-economic progress of the world and the consolidation of a more just, humane and supportive world.

These purposes coincide with the principles, priorities and strategic objectives with which the Bolivarian Alliance was born twenty years ago, stemming from the efforts of Commanders Hugo Chávez and Fidel Castro and from the dreams of the independence heroes of Latin America and the Caribbean, who envisioned the future that would characterize the new world order in gestation, based on the promotion of peace, cooperation and solidarity, and on respect for the principles of international law for relations between States.

Today, Cuba and Bolivia reaffirm, once again, their will to build a new world order, which is urgent for the survival of humanity itself.

In addition, the Bolivarian Alliance regrets that, at this crucial moment for the future of the world, a country has broken the consensus in this space of cooperation to exclude sister countries, preventing, for now, the entry of Venezuela. The ALBA-TCP, convinced of the need to overcome exclusions, will continue to promote the entry of the Venezuelan nation, bearer of the material conditions necessary to promote the BRICS in the region and of the historical values that have promoted solidarity, cooperation, and a new type of multilateralism.

The Member States of ALBA-TCP applaud the Cuban and Bolivian peoples and governments for this goal achieved, with the certainty that they will be able to convey to the BRICS the solidarity, popular, diverse, complementary and cooperative essence of our Bolivarian Alliance. In turn, we demand the cessation of aggression against Venezuela and respect for its sovereign right to be the protagonist of the new multipolar world in consolidation.
