Cuba-Bolivia Joint Resolution Ends First Intergovernmental Commission

Havana, Nov 9(acn) Cuban Parliament President Ricardo Alarcon and 
Bolivian Senator Santos Javier Tito Veliz signed a joint resolution 
this Friday at the closing session of the first Cuba- Bolivia 
Intergovernmental Commission.

The document denounces the US economic, financial and commercial 
blockade of Cuba, highlighting its extraterritorial nature and the fact 
that the UN General Assembly has condemned it sixteen consecutive times.

The joint declaration will further facilitate the application of the 
Bolivarian Alternative for the Americas (ALBA), and the Trade Treaty 
subscribed between Bolivia, Venezuela, Nicaragua and Cuba.

The document states that Cuba supports Bolivia in its demand for an 
access to the sea, a historical right and much needeed for its 
development.

Senator Tito Veliz presented Ricardo Alarcon with two resolutions 
passed by the Bolivian congress, one condemning the freed afforded 
notorious terrorist Luis Posada Carriles by the US and a second 
demanding the freedom of the five Cuban antiterrorist fighters unjustly 
held in US jails since 1998.
