Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro arrived Sunday night in Cuba for an extraordinary summit of the Bolivarian Alliance for the People of Our Americas (ALBA) amid rising threat of the deadly disease of Ebola to Latin America and the Caribbean.
"We have come to this important ALBA summit to unify criteria on how to face in this region of the world that threat to life represented by Ebola," said Maduro at the Havana International Airport.
The summit slated for Monday was organized at requests by Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO) Margaret Chan, and UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon as part of a global fight against the epidemic.
The ALBA, which was founded in 2004, groups together Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, Dominica, Antigua and Barbuda, Saint Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Ecuador and Bolivia.
