Caracas, March 17 (RHC) – The member nations of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our Americas regional integration bloc (ALBA) is holding an extraordinary summit Tuesday in Caracas in support of Venezuela amid U.S. threats.

President Nicolas Maduro said that the ALBA countries will state forth their position in support of his nation and in rejection of US interference-oriented policy towards the region.

Maduro thanked all governments, social movements, political parties and countries from around the world for their support of Venezuela, following the declaration by US President Barack Obama that the South America nation is a threat to US National Security.

The Venezuelan president said his country will continue to defend just causes of humanity and will always back the Cuban people in their struggle against the U.S. economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed for over 50 years now.

Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez recently said in Caracas that the island will always support Venezuela, and reiterated Cuba's strong rejection of Obama´s recent executive order.
