Cuba, Venezuela explore economic relations

Cuba, Venezuela explore economic relations

Congress members of Cuba and Venezuela will discuss next August
bilateral relations in the context of the Bolivarian Alternative for the
Americas (ALBA) and the Latin American situation, reported Monday
Ricardo Alarcón, the chair of the Cuban Parliament.

The Cuban-Venezuelan Third Inter-Parliamentarian Meeting will be held in
Caracas, on August 2-3. "The parties will address the situation both in
their countries and Latin America, in order to take joint action in the
international forums where both States take part," said Alarcón, as
quoted by Cuban news agency Prensa Latina.

"This integration process involves not only a number of governments in
the region, but also many social movements and large grassroots sectors"
in Latin America, Alarcón added, AFP reported.

The Cuban official put Nicaragua as an example. "Before the comeback of
the Sandinist movement in January, many people were benefited already
from the health and education programs contained in ALBA."
