BOLIVIA-PERU | Improving ties. Peru’s President Martín Vizcarra met his long-serving Bolivian peer Evo Morales in the border town of Desaguadero on 28 April to discuss deepening energy, trade, security, and environmental cooperation. Representatives of Peru’s energy and mines ministry and Bolivia’s hydrocarbons ministry will meet in Lima in mid May to discuss energy integration. This will prepare the way for a binational cabinet meeting in September in Cobija, the capital of Bolivia’s north-western department of Pando.
