RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – The Bolivian interim government announced on Sunday, December 22nd, its admission to the Lima Group.
The bloc is made up of more than a dozen American countries that, since mid-2017, have been trying to help find a solution to the institutional and humanitarian crisis in Venezuela.
“The Bolivian Foreign Ministry announces Bolivia’s accession to the Lima Group,” says a statement published yesterday on the Foreign Ministry’s website, mentioned by the state news agency ABI (Bolivian News Agency).
Bolivia will thus “contribute to finding a peaceful, democratic and constitutional solution to the crisis in Venezuela, which must be led by the Venezuelan people,” the brief note said.
The Lima Group was founded in 2017 by Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay and Peru.
