The Bolivian Foreign Ministry has published a statement informing the national and international public that it has made the decision to "suspend diplomatic relations with the Republic of Cuba as of the date".

According to the ministry, the Cuban government has "systematically affected the bilateral relationship based on mutual respect, the principles of non-interference in internal affairs, the self-determination of peoples and the sovereign equality of States, despite the willingness of the Bolivian government to maintain cordial relations".
