Marco Rubio, Secretary of State
October 19, 2025
The United States congratulates President-elect Rodrigo Paz on his election as Bolivia's president. We also commend the Bolivian people in this historic moment for their country.
After two decades of mismanagement, President-elect Paz's election marks a transformative opportunity for both nations. The United States stands ready to partner with Bolivia on shared priorities, including ending illegal immigration, improved market access for bilateral investment, and combating transnational criminal organizations to strengthen regional security.
