CARACAS.- The First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC) and President of the Republic, Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, arrived Friday afternoon (December 13) in Caracas, to participate in the XXIV Summit of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America-People's Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP).
The Cuban President was received at the Simón Bolívar International Airport by Venezuelan Foreign Minister Iván Gil, where he was given due diplomatic honors.
To be held Saturday, December 14, the 24th edition of the summit of heads of state and government of the ten states of Latin America and the Caribbean that make up the bloc, will be held under the slogan "A hug that marked the course of our history".
The phrase honours the 30th anniversary of the first meeting between Chávez and Fidel, in 1994, in Havana, which was sealed with an embrace that, for the Bolivarian leader, was the foreshadowing of what would happen ten years later, on December 14, 2004, when both created this integrationist bloc in Havana.
The heads of state and government will also commemorate the bicentennial of the Battle of Ayacucho, which marked the end of Spanish colonialism in the American subcontinent.
The official Cuban delegation is also made up of the member of the Political Bureau and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla; Deputy Minister Josefina Vidal Ferreiro; the director general for Latin America and the Caribbean, Eugenio Martínez Enríquez, and other officials of the Foreign Ministry.
The ALBA-TCP alliance includes Venezuela, Bolivia, Nicaragua, the Commonwealth of Dominica, Antigua and Barbuda, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Saint Lucia, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Grenada and Cuba.
