Integration-related issues, including
cooperation in health and education, are
expected to center debates in the 7th Summit
of the Bolivarian Alliance for the People of
Our Americas (ALBA), to be held in
Cochabamba, Bolivia, from October 16-17, an
official source confirmed.
Foreign Affairs and Worship Minister David

He said that the heads of State of the nine

Separate meetings of social movements, small

Cuba, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Dominica,
