Bolivia Rejects FTA with U.S.

Pyongyang, November 23 (KCNA) -- Bolivia Friday reiterated its definite rejection to sign a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with the United States.

"We can't sign, under any arguments, a Free Trade Agreement with the United States because it means a plunder of our natural and productive resources," said the country's Minister of Foreign Affairs David Choquehuanca.

"We have to defend the interests of our country and businessmen, an FTA should benefit the Bolivians and not drain us," he said.
