Present relations between Venezuela and Cuba show that there are integration models different from the models implemented so far in Latin America, Foreign Vice-Minister Pável Rondón stated.
 
"We are showing that the world can work otherwise. We are breaking up all the economic and socio-political theories sought in the hemisphere. We are creating a new world," Rondón maintained during a ceremony to organize the Venezuelan-Cuban Parliamentarian Friendship Group.

The group was organized last Monday at the National Assembly (AN,) Efe reported.

"We are developing an integration model where the economic, cultural, social, political, educational, health, and energy fields come together, and through the Bolivarian Alternative of the Americas (ALBA,) we are showing that a new world is possible," Rondón added.

Cuban Ambassador Germán Sánchez remembered that since the execution of the Comprehensive Cooperation Agreement on October 30th, 2000, bilateral trade exchange has surpassed USD 830 million.
