Bolivian President Evo Morales declared Friday that his meeting in Havana with his Cuban and Venezuelan counterparts will promote alternatives to the economic model prevailing in Latin America.

This meeting will be one more step toward the goal of changing the neoliberal system that predominates in our continent, and give a shove to the decolonization process, such as we are experiencing in Bolivia, Morales said on his arrival.

The Bolivian leader, who arrived with a high-level delegation, was received by President Fidel Castro and several Cuban ministers, among them Foreign Minister Felipe Perez Roque.

Morales noted to press this was his first visit to Cuba as president and said he was happy and confident the meeting “of three generations and three revolutions” will help in making the friendship shared by the three peoples even greater.

Official sources informed that Morales will sign formal adherence to the Bolivarian Alternative for the Americas (ALBA), signed in 2005 by Cuba and Bolivia.

According to Granma, the documents will include Morales´ ideas of a Peoples Trade Treaty (TCP) as counterpoint to the US-pushed free trade treaties.
