Foreign Minister Israel Katz welcomed the Bolivian government's announcement that the state would renew its diplomatic relations with Israel.
"I welcome the announcement by the Bolivian government of its intention to renew relations with the State of Israel, which will contribute to strengthening the State of Israel's foreign relations and status in the world. The Foreign Ministry has been working for a long time to promote the renewal of relations directly and also through the Brazilian President and the Brazilian Foreign Minister with whom I recently spoke on the subject at the UN Conference in New York, "Katz said.
"The departure of the president hostile to Israel Morales, and his replacement with a friendly Israeli government, allows the process to mature," the Foreign Minister explained.
