"Haiti has no debt with Venezuela, just the opposite: Venezuela has a historical debt with that nation, with that people for whom we feel not pity but rather admiration, and we share their faith, their hope"

ALBA has decided on a comprehensive plan that includes an immediate donation of $20 million to Haitis health sector, and a fund that, Chavez said, will be at least $100 million for starters.

Haiti is among several countries that send observers to ALBA meetings.

The ALBA plan of aid for Haiti includes support for such sectors as agriculture, production, food imports and distribution, and immigration amnesty for Haitians living illegally in the blocs member-states.
