The Bolivian government is waiting for the answer from the United States to resume their diplomatic relations, Bolivian Foreign Minister David Choquehuanca said on Sunday.
The U.S.-Bolivia relations were severely damaged in September 2008 when Bolivian President Evo Morales decided to expel the U.S. ambassador in the country, a move that irritated the Unite States. Washington took drastic revenge measure against the South American country by expelling Bolivian Ambassador Gustavo Guzman.
During an interview with a TV program, Choquehuanca said both countries were working on a framework agreement of bilateral relations to restore ties.
"At this moment, the framework agreement between both nations is at the U.S. side. There are some small details being analyzed in the United States," he said.
Choquehuanca said Bolivia hoped that they would soon finish reviewing the details of the agreement. "Once this stage is finished, it will be presented to the cabinet, if the government approved it, we can be ready to sign, that is our wish," he said.
In 2008, the U.S. suspended Bolivia status of the Andean Trade Promotion and Drug Eradication Act while Morales expelled the U.S. drug enforcement agency from the country, saying its members were carrying spying activities.
The Bolivian government repeatedly accused the United States of conspiracy and interference into its internal affairs.
Months ago, both governments showed the will to restore their ties. |
