Actualité - ALBA Generates Great Expectation
La Paz, May 25 (Prensa Latina) - Great hopes have been generated for Friday´s meeting of Bolivia, Cuba and Venezuela to contribute with the consolidation of the Bolivarian Alternative for the Americas (ALBA), through the signing of important cooperation agreements.
Bolivian and Venezuelan Presidents Evo Morales and Hugo Chavez will attend the agreement signing in Sinahota, in the central Bolivian region of Chapare, revealed an official note widely headlined on Thursday.
The meeting will center on the integration agreements signed by the three nations in a summit in Havana on April 28 on the occasion of ALBA’s first anniversary.
President of the state Bolivian Tax Oilfield enterprise, Jorge Alvarado, highlighted the importance of the expected agreements with Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA), which will benefit Bolivia with 51 percent of net profits.
According to local media, the Bolivian-Venezuelan agreements will allow implementation of more than 200 projects, including the creation of the south’s bi-national oil company (Minersur).
Other joint projects will count on Cuban participation and relate to the industrialization of coffee, tea and soy, as well as exchanges in the fields of health, education, sports and culture where Cuba exhibits outstanding results.
“Separately we are small countries compared to the great transnational corporations, but together we can boost our national resources,” asserted Victor Alvarez, Venezuelan minister of Basic Industries and Mining.
