“Each one of you manifests, with your presence, with your work, with your effort, what the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America means, and ours is an alliance for life,” said Secretary Llorenti. He praised the work of the Venezuelan soldiers, doctors, and experts in natural disasters of the SimĂłn BolĂvar Humanitarian Task Force, highlighting that they are the “expression of the meaning of brotherhood and solidarity among peoples.”
He reiterated that ALBA-TCP represents an alliance for life, not to invade, appropriate the natural resources of other peoples, or to organize coups and destabilize other countries. “We organize ourselves to extend a helping hand, to the peoples that need it,” he emphasized.
For his part, the president of Bank of ALBA, RaĂşl Li Causi, extended the gratitude of the people and government of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines to the men and women who were part of the humanitarian aid contingent of Venezuelan and Cuban professionals who fulfilled their mission in the Caribbean country.
“It has been several weeks during which we have been able to support,” said Li Causi. “It has been tremendous work, they have left the name of the homeland of BolĂvar and of ALBA-TCP very high, and so we want to let you know, thank you for your commitment and performance in this mission.” Li Causi also announced the return to Venezuela of the Bolivarian Navy ship, with its crew, having successfully completed its task on the island.
