Evo Morales Denies Rift with US

La Paz
Bolivian president Evo Morales affirmed that relations with the US are fine, thus denying rumours of a possible bilateral rift after a Bolivian statement over the terrorist attacks in La Paz by an American citizen.

"As far as I know, there has not been any fracture, because it means there would be no contacts. But contacts go on, and we hope to strengthen relations after the talks with US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in Chile," Morales said.

MoralesĀ“ statements came after the media warned of "clear signs of deterioration" in the relations with the White House, due to the Bolivian government statement after the attacks against two hotels, when a US national was arrested as alleged author of the crime.
