Caracas, April 24, 2024.- Within the framework of the 23rd Summit of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America – People’s Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP), held in Venezuela, the ambassador of St. Kitts and Nevis, Norgen Wilson, encouraged member countries to strengthen cooperation in science and technology for a more strategic development of their natural resources.
“We have to be more strategic in the development of our science and technology in such a way that we don’t hand over our natural resources to developed countries, only to have them sold back to us for 10 or 20 times the price,” Wilson stressed.
The ambassador highlighted that the region’s natural resources are an invaluable asset, comparable to oxygen for the planet. “We have the resources, the people and the educational institutions.”
On the other hand, Wilson stressed the importance of ALBA-TCP as a platform to promote regional unity and cooperation. “It is important for us to support ALBA-TCP because it promotes unity and cooperation, and we all know that as sovereign states we have the right to make our own decisions.”
Although he acknowledged that member countries may have some differences, Wilson emphasized that they also share many common goals and challenges. “If we work together,” he said, “we will be able to solve many challenges”.

Caracas, April 24, 2024.- During his attendance this Wednesday at the 23rd Summit of Heads of State and Government of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America – People’s Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP), held in the Venezuelan capital, the President of the Republic of Nicaragua, Daniel Ortega, urged to strengthen the struggle for peace, while he condemned imperialist actions intended to perpetuate wars in the world.
“ALBA-TCP is a weapon for peace, for the unity of the Latin American and Caribbean peoples who are fighting a battle where the imperialists of the Earth are trying to undermine, and infiltrate in order to break Latin American unity,” the Sandinista commander said.
Ortega mentioned the approval of billions of dollars by the United States to continue the war, the genocide against the Palestinian people, as well as funds for the Ukrainian regime, that is, “funds for death, funds for war”.
In his speech, he recalled that the only power that has launched atomic bombs is the American empire.
The President of Nicaragua joined other ALBA-TCP heads of state in condemning and calling for an end to the imperialist invasion, threats and blockades; however, “they continue to intensify their aggressions. The empire totally disrespects world’s opinion, the American people’s opinion and even the opinion of a large part of the people of Israel, who are against these crimes, and when the United Nations votes for Palestine to occupy its seat as a State”, the United States vetoes the proposal, refusing to recognize the State of Palestine.
“To the imperialists we say: nobody surrenders here!”, the revolutionary commander stated.

Caracas, April 24, 2024.- Grenada’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Export Development, Joseph Andall, called for mutual assistance and condemned the injustices affecting the peoples of Latin America and the world.
During the 23rd Summit of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America – People’s Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP) held in Caracas, Venezuela, Andall said that “the so-called civilized world continues to clearly show its hypocrisy” in the face of intolerable crimes such as the genocide in Palestine and the intervention in Haiti.
“In the end, it is only mutual respect and empathy for common issues that can strengthen the multilateral space and give us a better position to face global challenges,” he said.
The minister took the opportunity to condemn the illegal blockade imposed by the United States on Cuba and demanded the removal of that sister nation from the unilateral list of countries that allegedly support terrorism.
Regarding the situation in Palestine, he described the Israeli occupation as “a stain on the conscience of mankind”.
“One of the most advanced machineries is on one side and, on the other, civilians are dying and as always we only see hypocrisy,” lamented Andall, who called on the peoples of the world to lobby for their governments to condemn these attacks. “We are a small country, but we understand the principles of humanity,” he added.
On the other hand, he stressed the importance of ALBA as a platform to address common challenges and strengthen regional unity.
Andall praised the role of the Bolivarian countries in promoting integration in Latin America and the Caribbean, and highlighted how the exchange of knowledge and experiences among members offers unique opportunities for technical cooperation.

Caracas, April 24, 2024.- During the 23rd Summit of Heads of State and Government of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America – People’s Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP), held in Caracas, Venezuela, the President of the Plurinational State of Bolivia, Luis Arce, urged the regional bloc to take firm and decisive action in the face of the unacceptable genocide taking place in the Gaza Strip as a result of the aggression of Israel’s occupying forces against the Palestinian people, which is “a bloody and hateful slaughter like never before seen in the recent history of mankind”.
In this regard, he proposed that the ALBA-TCP Executive Secretariat study the possibility of setting up an international brigade to support the Palestinian people, with specialized staff in disaster response and health care professionals, and then to expand its scope to education, construction, food production, and science and technology; offer scholarships at undergraduate and graduate level for Palestinian students and invite the State of Palestine to join as a full member of the Alliance.
He stated that, a few months away from the 20th anniversary of the integration mechanism, “we are facing a unique opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to the founding principles of promoting Latin Americanism through the social, economic, political and cultural development of our region”.
He also affirmed that, since its founding in 2004, the Alliance has been a beacon of hope for the peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean, promoting brotherhood, solidarity, cooperation, complementarity and reciprocity.
President Arce recalled the recent condemnation by the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) of the violent raid by the Ecuadorian police on the headquarters of the Mexican Embassy in Quito, “an unprecedented event in international law that should not be forgotten or remain in impunity”. He expressed solidarity with the Mexican people, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, and Foreign Minister Alicia Bárcena.
During his speech, he also rejected the blockades and imposition of unilateral coercive measures against several countries in the region, including Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua, highlighting certain events such as the illegal seizure by the United States of an aircraft belonging to the Venezuelan company EMTRASUR and how the United States reverted Venezuela’s license to carry out oil and gas operations.
In view of these imperial measures, the Bolivian leader demanded respect for the principle of equal rights and free self-determination of peoples enshrined in the United Nations Charter; the cessation of the interference and interventionist policies of the U.S. government and the European Union towards Latin America and the Caribbean; the cessation of the imposition of blockades, embargoes and unilateral coercive measures against our peoples and other peoples of the world; the removal of Cuba from the list of State sponsors of terrorism; the cessation of U.S. financing of the military plans approved to continue the genocide against the Palestinian people, to force a military solution to the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
Arce also raised the point that, in order to strengthen ALBA-TCP, “we must move closer to CARICOM, the African Union, the Eurasian Economic Union and BRICS”.

Caracas, April 24, 2024.- On the occasion of his participation in the 23rd Summit of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America – People’s Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP), held at the Miraflores Palace in Caracas, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel stressed the need to strengthen solidarity and cooperation to overcome the challenges facing the region.
In this regard, Díaz-Canel described ALBA as the “alliance of miracles capable of making seemingly impossible projects and feats a reality to benefit people in the social area. He also said that the organization provided the answer denied for centuries to the region; “it is the alliance that allows us to face challenges and threats together”.
For this reason, he affirmed that “Cuba will always be present in the Alliance because, despite the difficulties imposed by empires, our Alliance has proven how and how much can be done from the South if this solid solidarity prevails”.
In the international realm, he demanded, on behalf of the organization, “a comprehensive solution to the conflict in Palestine, allowing the consolidation of that State”, as well as the membership of this nation in the United Nations and urged the Security Council to fulfill its mission and put an end to Israel’s impunity.
Regarding Venezuela, the Cuban president congratulated the “development of the new electoral process taking place in peace and in accordance with its Constitution; they have achieved this despite attempts to resort to violence, but they have failed and we are not talking about old plans”. In addition, he “firmly supported the denunciation” of the nation, “regarding these plans that seek to prevent the development of a peace and security process. We once again reject external interference and impositions on Venezuelan government institutions; we denounce the imposition of unilateral coercive measures and demand their immediate, permanent and unconditional lifting”.
Finally, regarding Haiti, Díaz-Canel proposed the creation of a special international solidarity fund for the recovery of this sister nation, where international banking institutions should coordinate actions and Haiti’s debts should be condoned.

Caracas, April 19, 2024.- The time for the ALBA social movements, with a very broad vision, to coordinate a new world social alternative against capitalism, against fascism, for a human civilization of peace and love has come”, said the President of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro Moros, during his participation this Friday in the Gathering for a World Social Alternative.
He said that the new alternative must be one focused on life and hope, on a multipolar world based on the peoples, “because only the aware, mobilized, organized and empowered peoples will be able to build the new world; this is not a matter for the elites”.
The international meeting, which brings together in Caracas close to 300 delegates from movements of 60 countries from Asia, Africa, Europe, North America, Latin America and the Caribbean, is organized by the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America-People’s Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP) and the Simon Bolivar Institute for Peace and Solidarity among Peoples (ISB).
In his opinion, the world is going through a new transition period, a new era and “we have to be at the forefront, if we stick to the old rhetoric, to the old slogans, to the old ways of politics, they will walk all over us”.
In this sense, he urged the movements and leaders gathered to build the new world social alternative for the new transition era, and from Venezuela “we say new era of transition to socialism, a new civilization, the civilization of love, solidarity, equality, life (…) the humanity to come will be better, much better. Hopefully, we can reverse climate change, mitigate it”.
During his speech, the Head of State expressed his trust that the great scientific-technological development will allow freeing the planet from global warming and the destruction it has entered, and that the mitigation and prevention measures can, at some point, be combined with measures to heal the 200 years of damage caused to the planet by capitalism. “I believe in that. I am confident, I have hope,” he said.
Permanent mobilization
President Maduro stated that the revolutionary movements in power must be in permanent mobilization, “it is one of the keys of the Bolivarian Revolution, active people, mobilized people regardless of the circumstances (…) it is a very wise line to take, the popular movements in the struggle against neoliberalism and the emerging fascism”.
The Venezuelan President assured, in his speech, that Zionism is behind the extreme right in his country, behind the Machado and Capriles surnames, “all of them came out to applaud the genocide against the Palestinian people, all of them came out to applaud the assault and bombing with missiles of the Iranian consulate in Damascus, all of them, Machado, Lopez, Capriles, the surnames here”.
“Zionism is the leading force of fascism in the world and is getting into Latin America. Be alert! What I can tell you is this: in Venezuela they will not succeed, this people will prevail against fascism and the Zionism of the surnames, the oligarchy” he affirmed.
ALBA-TCP as a moral reference
President Maduro recalled that next December will be the 30th anniversary of the first meeting between Commanders Fidel Castro and Hugo Chávez, in 1994; and “on December 14 we will also commemorate the 20th anniversary of the founding of the Bolivarian Alternative for the Peoples of Our America, today the Bolivarian Alliance”.
He stressed that today ALBA-TCP is being consolidated, it is a moral, political and ideological reference; it is a reference for the struggling and dreaming peoples. “Africa is already rising again in its struggle against European colonialism. Asia is becoming an alternative. Our America struggles to maintain its free spaces and to liberate new ones”.
Along his speech, the President affirmed that “Colombia and Venezuela have a common destiny, union, cooperation and shared development of this vast region liberated by the sword of Bolivar”; “sooner we will conquer freedom and sovereignty and re-found the free Republic of Haiti”; “the struggle for Palestine is the struggle for justice and the truth of our Lord Jesus Christ” and the “people of the United States will be one of the great stars of the changes coming for the world in the future years”.

Caracas, April 20, 2024.- In an interview to media of social movements from Argentina, Colombia, Brazil and other countries, the executive secretary of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America-People’s Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP), Jorge Arreaza, assessed the Gathering for a World Social Alternative, which closed this Saturday in Caracas, in view of the difficult circumstances the world is going through.
He emphasized that there was a need in the environment for us to “come together”, for an ideological embrace in order to have the great debates, as happened at the meeting; to share reflections, hypotheses, routes for concrete action.
The diplomat stressed that ALBA-TCP is here for the peoples to coordinate, strengthen and change the world, and “the only way is to look at each other face to face, feel the energy we share and cleanse our thoughts and souls in order to take action”.
He described the contributions gathered during the three-day event as very appropriate, pertinent and they will allow us to progress along a concrete path, together, leaving behind any differences, any situation of polarization, which “nowadays is a mortal sin”.
Elections in Venezuela
Regarding the popular referendum to be held this Sunday in Venezuela aimed at prioritizing community projects, Arreaza explained that the Bolivarian nation has been strengthening the People’s Power, which is the core of forces in a territory, in the community, coinciding with President Nicolás Maduro Moros regarding that one of the great contributions of Commander Hugo Chávez, is to put socialism into practice throughout the territory.
In this sense, he further stated that this contribution of the revolutionary leader is translated into the Communal Councils and Communes, which in their territory are considered the first level of government; “the people are the ones who determine the agenda of the President in revolution”.
The ALBA-TCP Executive Secretary, when asked about the importance of the presidential election to be held on July 28 in his native Venezuela, stated that it is crucial. ” The future as a country, as an identity, is at stake”.
He explained that the Venezuelan people will choose between “Homeland or colony”, stressing that since 1998 ” the existence of the Homeland and the Republic is at stake” and that Chávez, upon winning the elections in that year, reverted an almost unstoppable tendency to become a neo-colony, whose attempts have not ceased during these years through 930 unilateral coercive measures, invasion threats, failed assassinations; all of which have slowed down the pace of the revolution, but the people have endured it.
Arreaza affirmed that in Venezuela, Chavismo has been able to maintain its single-minded unity, its strategic project, making tactical concessions, when necessary, but maintaining the strategic rhythm of the project, while the opposition is still insisting on “surrendering the Homeland to the Americans and this formula will never work for them”.
The ALBA-TCP spokesman also guaranteed the reliability of the Venezuelan electoral system, which he defined as extremely transparent, automatic, auditable before and after the process: “There is no possibility of fraud”.

Caracas, April 20, 2024.- The Executive Secretary of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America – People’s Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP), Jorge Arreaza, participated this Saturday in a presentation on the National Popular Vote 2024 to be held tomorrow Sunday in Venezuela, this activity was addressed to the international participants of the Gathering for a World Social Alternative who will participate as watchers of the election day.
The People’s Power Minister for Communes and Social Movements, Guy Vernáez; Representative Blanca Eeckhout, president of the Commission for the Development of Communes of the National Assembly (AN) and spokesmen and spokeswomen of the communal electoral commission responsible for organizing the poll called by President Nicolás Maduro also took part in the explanation, held in Caracas.
Arreaza, who before his appointment to ALBA-TCP was Minister for Communes in Venezuela, said that this is the first National Popular Vote, in which Venezuelan men and women over 15 years of age “are called to vote in the nearest electoral center to be able to choose among the projects that the community in its assemblies where the most immediate sovereign power resides, identified and prioritized”.
The diplomat referred to the Concrete Action Agenda (ACA in Spanish) of the Communal Councils, which describes the critical issues or needs identified by the communities, with a proposed solution or project that takes into account the potential of the territory.
Minister Guy Vernáez highlighted that the national vote constitutes a “possibility to give the world a different view of what people outside see” about Venezuela. He said that tomorrow’s event is not only an election, “it is much more, it is a milestone that breaks all previous processes, it goes beyond that path”.
He affirmed that the organization process has been very simple, due to the training that Chávez transmitted to the communal organizations, while he assigned to watchers the task of understanding, through their participation in the elections, the meaning of the People’s Power and the communal leadership.
Representative Blanca Eeckhout recalled that Chávez said that every need must become a movement, every movement must become an organization and this must become a power to change reality. She also addressed the Tree of the Three Roots (Simón Bolívar, Simón Rodríguez and Ezequiel Zamora), which Chávez turned into a political, pedagogical action, of permanent consciousness transformation.
“Tomorrow we will see the systematization of a permanent work of resistance (…) it is not only choosing the project, this has been the work of years of men and women who have not given up despite adversity,” he stressed.
People’s Power
Carolina Arellano, representative of the Social Controllership of “El Piñal” Communal Council and “Carlos Escarrá” Commune, “Mario Briceño Iragorry” municipality, Aragua state, emphasized that an unprecedented process will be held, with the participation of the 49,000 Communal Councils of the country, over 1,300,000 spokespersons ready for this battle, to say “what we want and how we want it in our communities”.

Caracas, April 20, 2024.- As part of the Gathering for a World Social Alternative, held this Saturday in Caracas, the executive secretary of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America-People’s Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP), Jorge Arreaza, held a meeting with representatives of the different social movements and journalists from the member countries of the Alliance.
In this regard, he stressed the need to convene “the social movements, the figures connected with the organized peoples and the platforms, because this is what the world situation demands,” and said that they should activate a policy with “institutional presence, a council” to strengthen the shared policies of ALBA-TCP and also to build a government agenda.
Arreaza also took the opportunity to review the 2030 Strategic Agenda, mentioning that it includes a “complementary economy, respecting differences, respecting realities, respecting the advantages (…) each country has its own potential”.
He also highlighted the need to speed up and facilitate certain procedures that would benefit all peoples, such as the sanitary registration of medicines or the validation of university degrees.
Mónica Pacheco, from the Bolivian Broadcasters Association (ATB in Spanish), stressed the importance of taking advantage of social networks to communicate the truth of the peoples.
She also emphasized the importance of Latin American unity and social organizations; “it is possible when we are united (…) it is important to know the reality of our countries because there is a lot of lies in the media. Let us always try to look for alternative media, there are other media that can reflect the reality of our countries”.
Additionally, the representative from Saint Lucia, Nicolai Lansiquot, reiterated his nation’s support for the constitutional government of President Nicolás Maduro and the policies implemented.
He also took the opportunity to reiterate his approval of the initiatives of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America.
Jahim Etienne, also from St. Lucia, pointed out the damage done by the right-wing media regarding the situation of the peoples, in this sense, he considered Venezuela’s day-to-day situation as normal, contrary to what the U.S. media says.
Meanwhile, Luisa López, from the Correo del ALBA, defined Venezuela as a bastion of Bolivarianism; “it is the light shining on us since Commander Chávez appeared and he gave us a lot, he helped us to get out of where we were stuck, he made us believe that another world was possible, well, today many of his guidelines are being fulfilled, such as a multipolar world”.
Orlando Tardencilla, from Nicaragua, urged the participants to be united and politically clear, because “imperialism does not sleep and does not have one eye closed and the other open, it has both eyes open (…) we must keep our eyes open, strengthening the people’s power, listening with a self-critical ear, but above all, being aware of the opportunity to progress”.
Meanwhile, Oscar Figueredo, from Cuba Debate, stressed the need to effectively communicate the truth of the peoples, and the creation of strategies aimed at reaching the youth and raising awareness of the great contributions of the Cuban and Venezuelan revolutions.
Anisia Castro, from the Network in Defense of Humanity (Cuba), added that each of the countries “must not only display what is happening, but what we are doing from the left to counteract these things that are happening, using the tools we have, these are not moments of political hesitation”.
Finally, Loren Burford Garfield, from Antigua and Barbuda, said that it is necessary to understand and adapt to generational changes in order to reach out to young people and explain how ALBA-TCP has impacted their lives.

Caracas, April 20, 2024.- The Seminar: Anti-imperialist Youth in Struggle and for Solidarity, as part of the Gathering for a World Social Alternative, organized by the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America – People’s Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP) and the Simón Bolívar Institute (ISB), was an event full of historical value.
The event took place this Saturday in Caracas, where the views and expectations of the region’s young people committed to social transformation merged.
Genesis Garvett, head of the Grand Venezuelan Youth Mission and representative of the National Assembly, who emphasized the urgency of an international solution to confront imperialism, participated in the event.
In a speech full of energy, Garvett stressed that “imperialism is a global problem that demands a joint and coordinated response from all nations”. He highlighted the need for solidarity among young people in every country.
“Each people has its own agenda of struggle, but confronting imperialism requires a joint and coordinated response,” he stated.
The seminar was organized as an opportunity to exchange ideas and strategies to achieve a definitive change in the current model.
“These meetings have to bring about the definitive change in the imperialist paradigm and we have to defeat them, that is one of the lessons that as Venezuelan youth we would like to share with each one of our brothers here,” Garvett said.
Some of the topics discussed included the impact of imperialism on digital platforms and the cognitive manipulation of the younger generations. Garvett warned of the dangers of losing concentration and critical thinking skills in the face of this growing threat, and called on youth to be alert and resist this influence that seeks to twist the truth.
The event also served as a platform to reflect on the legacy of the Liberator Simón Bolívar, whose bicentennial of his passage to immortality will be commemorated in 2030, and on the need to expand the concept of homeland beyond national borders, promoting a united America fighting for justice and emancipation.
Solidarity voices
From the Venezuelan capital, Watan Alabed, representative of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, expressed his admiration for the internationalist approach of the Bolivarian Revolution, highlighting the legacy of Commander Hugo Chávez in promoting unity among oppressed peoples.
