He revealed that the representatives of Cuba and Venezuela offered to give training workshops on natural disasters and raised the need to create collection centers to support member countries that are affected by climate effects.
Lí Causi, for his part, raised the need to create an operations manual to address climate cases and a mapping of the most vulnerable areas, according to Venezolana de Televisión.
The vice chancellor for the Caribbean also stated that from the ALBA Bank “we make resources available to attend to emergencies”, which allows the heads of State and Government to make rapid use of resources for decision-making in emergency situations. .
According to the information, on July 25 the ALBA-TCP Development Agency will be created in Caracas, which could house funds for the study of risk situations, among other topics.
During the celebration in this capital of the 23rd Summit of Heads of State and Government, last April, the leaders approved the ALBA 2030 Strategic Agenda with its five horizons: economic, political, social, cultural and communications.
The economic apex proposed the expansion of the ALBA Bank, in terms of members, assets and credit capacity, as well as the adhesion to the Constitutive Agreement of all the States of the bloc and including the Bank in the local financing agenda of the countries of the Alliance .
