WASHINGTON, Dec 18 (Reuters) – The U.S. welcomed economic reforms announced by Bolivian Bolivian President Rodrigo Paz on Thursday, saying the changes would encourage investment that could benefit both countries.
“We applaud President Paz’s historic efforts to open Bolivia to the world by committing to meaningful reforms to attract international investment. Openness to investment, sound economic management, and respect for the rule of law are essential to unlocking Bolivia’s full potential. U.S. government officials are currently in Bolivia seeking to facilitate investments that will foster prosperity for both our nations,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement.
