Authorities from the Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America - Peoples' Trade Agreement (ALBA-TCP) met this Monday, at the Ministry of Popular Power for Foreign Affairs, to review the progress of the AgroAlba Project.

Through his social networks, Foreign Minister Gil highlighted that AgroAlba is “a topic of vital relevance for Venezuela and Latin America”, stressing that it is a project “that aims to strengthen food sovereignty and defend the rights of our peasants”.

AgroAlba, as a geopolitical mechanism for strategic partnership, lays the foundations for inclusive and sustainable economic development for the benefit of the entire region and the impetus of Petrocaribe and the Regional Alliance, which is why it is presented as an invitation to investors and entrepreneurs from all over the world to join in the mission of economic transformation.

Recently, during the 25th Meeting of the Political Council of ALBA-TCP, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro announced the upcoming celebration of Expo AgroAlba 2025, scheduled for April 24-27 in Caracas.

The Head of State then stressed that the member countries of the integrationist bloc have many possibilities of developing together in the agricultural sector. “We have the land, we have the good climate, we have the waters, we have the good experience learned, one country more than the other,” he said.
