The Foreign Minister of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Frederick Stephenson, assured this Thursday that the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America - Peoples' Trade Agreement (ALBA-TCP) became a strong alternative for the unity and integration of the peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean.

During the XXIV Meeting of the Political Council of ALBA-TCP, which takes place in New York within the framework of the 79th session of the General Assembly of the United Nations (UN), “the principles of our great liberators are manifested through our greatest founders, Hugo Chávez Frías and Fidel Castro, who in their infinite wisdom created our alliance. In the joint statement established by ALBA, our leaders affirmed, I insist, that the cardinal principle that should guide the block is the greatest sense of solidarity between the peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean.”

He emphasized that since its founding, the ALBA-TCP has had to face the hostile politics of the hegemon, which uses the economy and finance as a weapon of war to try to maintain control over free and sovereign peoples.

Finally, he urged ALBA-TCP to continue fighting for sovereignty and independence, strengthening relations with other multilateral organizations, such as the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC), BRICS, the Southern Common Market (MERCOSUR) and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
