Al Jazeera
Bolivian President Rodrigo Paz, a centrist, has moved to restore diplomatic ties with the US and cooperate with the DEA.
In a significant foreign policy shift, Bolivia has reopened its doors to the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).
The move, confirmed on Monday, ends a nearly two-decade hiatus in bilateral efforts to stem drug trafficking.
Bolivian Minister of Government Marco Oviedo told local media this week that DEA agents were already operating in the country.
“The DEA is in Bolivia,” he said. “Just as the DEA is now present, we also have cooperation from European intelligence and police bodies.”
Oviedo explained that the initial focus of the law enforcement efforts would be to tighten border surveillance and dismantle trafficking networks.
