Brazil described as “childish and amateur” Bolivia’s indication that it may cancel a scheduled presidential bilateral summit, if Brazil does not pay more for Bolivian natural gas.
According to reports in Sao Paulo’s press Brazil’s Foreign Affairs minister Celso Amorim reacted “harshly” to his Bolivian counterpart, David Choquehuanca, statements who conditioned the next summit to the evolvement of natural gas negotiations.
Brazil’s Foreign Affairs ministry, Itamaraty, described the threat to cancel Bolivian president Evo Morales visit to Brazil as “childish and amateur”, reported Folha de Sao Paulo.
Over the weekend Choquehuanca said that “the final declaration from the two presidents has been drafted to great extent” but added that Morales visit to Brazil “would depend on how the different bilateral committees’ workings evolve, particularly regarding the natural gas issue”.
According to Folha de Sao Paulo Amorim’s reaction was harsh and said that Choquehuanca’s statement “was another evidence of the amateurishness of President Morales’ administration foreign policy”.
