The heads of state will discuss significant geopolitical issues and explore opportunities for increased collaboration, guided by the principles of solidarity and social justice.

The summit reflects on the legacy of ALBA, which was established on December 14, 2004, by the former presidents of Cuba and Venezuela, Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez.

    It’s an important and most strategic alliance from which Antigua and Barbuda has benefitted immensely. Only the Orange Orangutan from the cold north would view this affiliation with evil eyes. Our leaders therefore will need to fortify themselves to avoid being trod upon Cuban-style. Viva Venezuela!
