This on-line meeting, held vwith its nine member countries, was inspired by the example of revolutionary dignity and unwavering defense of sovereignty of the historic leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro, and in the context of his 100th birthday to be celebrated in 2026.

The 13-point final declaration of the 15th Summit of the ALBA-TCP reaffirmed the unwavering commitment to further deepening the Bolivarian doctrine, thought, and action.

It deemed it “incompatible with any form of hegemony, domination, or imperial tutelage,” a fundamental pillar that inspired Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez to found the Bolivarian Alliance.

It condemned in the strongest terms the declared purpose of the recently published United States National Security Strategy, aimed at reaffirming the “obsolete and historically defeated Monroe Doctrine.”

It also censured the act of piracy committed by the United States government in attacking and seizing a Venezuelan oil tanker in the Caribbean Sea, an act it considered a violation of international law and an attack on the sovereignty of the Bolivarian Republic.

The ALBA-TCP declaration demanded Cuba’s exclusion from “Washington’s State Sponsors of Terrorism (SSOT) list” and highlighted the achievements of Nicaragua’s Government of National Reconciliation in building a sovereign economy, in a country that is increasingly free, Christian, and socialist.
