PERU-BOLIVIA: A long awaited visit
Ollanta Humala's dream of "one sole nation" once again uniting Bolivia and Peru was the most headline grabbing outcome of his recent visit to La Paz, the first stop on the second leg of his victory tour of South America. This was a reference to the Peru-Bolivia Confederation forged in 1836 which lasted three years before collapsing following an invasion by Chile. Yet, despite this rhetoric of unity and the likelihood that, given his ideological affinity with Bolivia's President Evo Morales, bilateral ties will see an improvement on the strained relationship with incumbent President Alan García, who has not paid an official visit to Bolivia, Humala's stopover left intact his newly cultivated image as a moderate.
