Exa Noticias website recalled the weakening of relations with Argentina, thus the former Bolivian foreign minister announced that the MAS presidential ticket (Luis Arce-David Choquehuanca), which won the general elections, will prioritize the resumption of talks with those countries.
Regarding diplomatic relations with the U.S., he reaffirmed that they will be developed accordingly due to trade issues such as the export of sugar, gold, among other Bolivian products ‘if it is a relation based on respect, a relation of mutual cooperation.’
Pary assured that he will continue working as part of Arce and Choquehuanca’s campaign team, as he has done it in the past few months.
Then-interim Foreign Minister Yerko Nuñez announced on January 24 the suspension of diplomatic relations with Havana for alleged ‘grievances’ of Minister of Foreign Relations Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla.
