HAVANA, Cuba, Dec 14 (acn) The Caribbean islands of Grenada and Saint Kitts and Nevis are members, as of Sunday, of the Bolivarian Alliance of the Americas- Trade Treaty of the Peoples (ALBA-TCP).
Dignitaries of the nine countries that are members of the ALBA-TCP and guests to the forum approved the joining of the two nations to the regional bloc, at the suggestion of Army General Raul Castro, President of the councils of State and Ministers of Cuba.
Welcome, fraternal nations! said Raul after the applause of acknowledgement generated by the proposal, which he had announced in his opening speech at Revolution Building, and where he said that the incorporation of these two countries will be a credit to the organization and will contribute to its development.
Keith Mitchell, Prime Minister of Grenada, described the incorporation of his country as a historic moment and expressed his appreciation for the solidarity voiced by the founders of the ALBA-TCP: Commanders Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez.
He proposed an initiative aimed at the creation of an economic platform for the population of the region, and also expressed his satisfaction for the incorporation of Saint Kitts and Nevis to the group, which has become a culture of South-South cooperation and not towards dependence, he said.
Mitchell condemned the economic, commercial and financial blockade of the United States imposed on Cuba for over 50 years now, and the constant interference of the U.S. government in the internal affairs of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.
