HAVANA, Cuba, Dec 15 (ACN) The 19th anniversary of the creation of the Bolivarian Alternative for the People of Our America – Peoples’ Trade Agreement (ALBA-TCP) was commemorated on Thursday at the Fidel Castro Ruz Center in Havana.
Josefina Vidal Ferreiro, deputy minister of foreign affairs, said that since 2004, at the proposal of Commander-in-Chief Fidel Castro Ruz and Commander of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela Hugo Rafael Chavez Frias, a hope arose that allowed joining efforts to multiply solidarity in the face of the selfishness prevailing in the world.
Vidal Ferreiro pointed out that throughout almost two decades the organization has strengthened its position as a space in favor of peace and cooperation in the search for solutions to chronic problems and social demands of its member countries.
The programs developed by this integration mechanism include “Operation Miracle” and the literacy campaign “Yes, I can”, in the areas of public health and education, respectively.
