Bolivian President Luis Arce attended the inauguration of his Brazilian counterpart, Luiz Inácio Lula Da Silva, and held a meeting with him at the Itamaraty Palace on January 2nd.

Regarding the issue of electrical energy, Bolivia has been coordinating with Brazil, since 2021, the “Binational Hydroelectric Inventory Studies of the Madera River and Main Tributaries” project, with the purpose of taking advantage of the energy potential of the waterways.
