Bolivia, U.S. seek to redirect diplomatic ties - 2009-03-20 10:50:22 LA PAZ, March 19 (Xinhua) --
The governments of Bolivia and U.S. are working in frame agreement to redirect their bilateral ties, based on respect to their sovereignty and dignity, Bolivian Foreign Minister David Choquehuanca said on Thursday.
Choquehuanca said both nations are on permanent communication and they will hold meetings in Washington and La Paz.
The diplomatic ties between Bolivia and U.S. are at a difficult moment after Bolivia expelled U.S. ambassador Philip Goldberg on Sept. 10, 2008, accusing conspiracy, and U.S. answered by expelling Bolivian ambassador Gustavo Guzman.
"We are working on a new framed agreement with U.S. to recognize the sovereignty and dignity of Bolivians. They (U.S) are aware that they must respect Bolivian authorities," Choquehuanca said.
