HAVANA, Cuba, Jan 19 (ACN) The setting up of a regional bank to purchase vaccines against COVID 19 was high among the proposals issued during a meeting Tuesday by the Social Council of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our Americas-People’s Trade Treaty, a Latin American regional organization known by its acronyms ALBA-TCP.
