The executive secretary of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America-Peoples' Trade Agreement (ALBA-TCP), Jorge Arreaza, participated this Friday in the 29th Ordinary Meeting of the Council of Ministers of the Association of Caribbean States (AEC), which is being held in Suriname.

“The first time that Commander Chávez presented the idea of ALBA was in the heat of the 3rd Summit of Heads of Government of the AEC in 2001. Today, the ALBA-TCP Strategic Agenda 2030 shares several themes and objectives with the AEC Action Plan 2022 28. We proposed maximum coordination between both instances to be more effective in complying with them,” Arreaza said in his X account.

In the same message, he expressed “the greetings of the 10 Heads of Government of ALBA-TCP and their Social Movements throughout Our America and the world.”

As part of the cooperation agenda, the Executive Secretary held a working meeting with the Chancellor of Saint Lucia, Alva Baptiste, with whom he addressed the implementation of the ALBA-TCP Strategic Agenda 2030, an action plan that seeks to promote the joint development of the region, in the economic, political, social, cultural and communication spheres.

In the same way, Arreaza met with the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Cuba, Josefina Vidal, with whom he spoke on various topics of common interest among the countries of the Alliance, especially the Caribbean, in the framework of the fraternal meeting.

An additional meeting was held with the ambassador of Antigua and Barbuda, Clarence Pilgrim, with whom new opportunities were explored to strengthen regional cooperation.
