JOHANNESBURG (Sputnik) - Bolivian President Luis Arce said in an interview with Sputnik that he sees prospects for the strengthening of relations between his country and Russia.
"I believe that we can develop more [spheres of cooperation]. Deepening of our ties will always be good," the president said, adding that in the last three years, Russian-Bolivian cooperation has been developing at a good pace.
Arce also said that the countries cooperate in important spheres such as nuclear research, including in medicine, and lithium.
During the interview, the president also expressed hopes that Bolivia will soon join the BRICS group of developing countries and said that he plans to visit Russia in 2024.
