Havana, Aug 1 (acn) The president
of Cuba's parliamentary, Ricardo Alarcon, said Cuba and Venezuela will
review the development of their fruitful relationship during the third
inter-parliamentary meeting, which begins Thursday, August 2, in
Caracas.
The leader of the Cuban parliament, who is heading the island's
delegation to the meeting, told Radio Rebelde that the meeting's goal
is to analyze the situation of their respective countries and that of
Latin America so as to plan common actions to take in international
forums in which both countries will take part.
The Bolivarian Alternative of the Americas (ALBA) is another issue on
the meeting's agenda, as the two parliaments seek to encourage the
development of the integration initiative which provides benefits not
only to Cuba and Venezuela, but to other nations in the region as well.
Alarcon said ALBA's scope goes beyond its member countries and lends
assistance to several governments in the region, as well as to social
movements in various nations.
