United States and Bolivia Announce New Economic and Travel Initiatives
By PPO Indacochea
On November 8, 2025, a United States Presidential Delegation—led by Deputy Secretary Christopher Landau—visited Bolivia to reaffirm the United States’ commitment to deepening its relationship with the Bolivian government and people. Deputy Secretary Landau emphasized his strong belief that a renewed U.S.–Bolivia partnership can serve as a foundation for shared economic prosperity, stronger people-to-people connections, and enhanced security cooperation.
As part of this renewed engagement, the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) and the U.S. Export-Import Bank (EXIM) announced that both agencies are now fully open for business in Bolivia and actively seeking new trade and investment opportunities.
DFC, EXIM, the U.S. Trade and Development Agency, and the U.S. Department of State will deploy experts to Bolivia to explore commercial opportunities across multiple sectors, with the goal of promoting private-sector-driven growth that creates jobs in both countries.
The United States and Bolivia also agreed to relaunch the bilateral Trade and Investment Council to advance shared priorities, as well as to establish a Joint Deal Team to identify opportunities for increased two-way investment.
Bolivia announced plans to eliminate the visa requirement for U.S. tourists and business travelers, a step expected to encourage greater travel and investment from the United States.
Additionally, both nations committed to pursuing a U.S. Open Skies Agreement to expand air connectivity and agreed to approve a license for Starlink operations in Bolivia, providing access to affordable, high-speed, and reliable internet across the country.
