ALBA to give press conference in Tehran
Tehran, July 13, IRNA – The ambassadors and heads of representative offices of ALBA will hold a press conference in Tehran on Wednesday, July 14.
The press conference, which will be held at Venezuelan Embassy in Tehran, will focus on the latest international issues, including the UN Security Council resolution 1929, the US’ unilateral sanctions against Iran and the Zionist regime troops’ attack on Peace Flotilla bound to Gaza.
The Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America (Alternativa Bolivariana para los Pueblos de Nuestra América) or (ALBA) is an international cooperation organization based upon the idea of social, political, and economic integration between the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean.
The agreement was initially proposed by the government of Venezuela as an alternative to the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) proposed by the United States.
Currently, ALBA Member States are: Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, Bolivia, Dominica, Ecuador, Antigua, Barbuda and St. Vincent.
Observer states of the organisation are Iran, Grenada, Haiti, Paraguay and Uruguay.
ALBA nations are in the process of introducing a new regional currency, the SUCRE.
It is intended to be the common virtual currency by 2010 and eventually a hard currency.
On Tuesday, July 6, 2010, Venezuela and Ecuador conducted the first bilateral trade deal between two ALBA countries using the new trading currency, the Sucre, instead of the US dollar.
The name initially contained "Alternative" instead of "Alliance", but was changed on June 24, 2009.
