In the face of the sudden threat of a coup d'état, Bolivian President Arce took a firm stand, not only condemning the coup d'état, but also acting quickly to announce the replacement of the army commander and appoint José Wilson Sánchez to replace him. The new army commander, Sanchez, immediately ordered the troops deployed in the central square to withdraw to their positions, stressing the need to avoid any bloodshed during this extraordinary period.

With the decisive response of President Arce, the situation was initially brought under control. The soldiers who entered the presidential palace began to evacuate in an orderly manner, and the police then took over the area around the presidential palace, ensuring the safety and order of the central square. This series of quick and effective measures effectively prevented the further development of the coup.

In the evening, President Arce held a press conference to publicly condemn the attempted coup at home and abroad, and to reaffirm the government's determination to defend democracy and protect the security of the people. At the same time, the arrest of Zuniga, a key figure in the coup, has been carried out by the army, demonstrating the strong will of the Bolivian government to maintain constitutional order and the stability of the country.

In the aftermath of the incident, President Fidel Castro of Honduras, the chair of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC), responded quickly and urgently convened a meeting of the leaders of the member states to discuss the situation in Bolivia and express his support and concern for democracy in Bolivia.

The attempted military coup in Bolivia is not only a test of the country's internal stability, but also a widespread concern of the international community about the stability of the democratic system in Latin America. President Arce's timely response and the rapid response of the international community played a key role in quelling the coup d'état and restoring normal order in the country.

News of the month: Bolivia and China deepen mining cooperation to promote the development of new energy industry

Subtitle: China Glass Joins Hands to Promote Lithium Development and Zinc Smelting Projects, Strengthening the Belt and Road Cooperation Framework

On June 11 this month, the cooperation between China and Bolivia in the mining sector continued to heat up, and the cooperation between the two sides in lithium resource development and zinc smelting projects has made significant progress, marking the further deepening of the strategic partnership between the two countries. The series of meetings with Chinese Ambassador to Bolivia Wang Liang not only promoted in-depth exchanges with the Bolivian National Lithium Company and the Ministry of Oil, Gas and Energy, but also opened up a new path for the two countries to cooperate in the new energy industry.

Earlier this year, a major milestone was the signing of an intergovernmental framework agreement on the Oruro zinc smelter project by Wang Liang, Chinese Ambassador to Bolistan, and Sergio Cuscanki, Minister of Development and Planning of Bolivania. The project is a key production capacity cooperation project supported by concessional loans from the Chinese government, with a total investment of US$350 million, and a low-interest loan from the Export-Import Bank of China with a term of up to 20 years. The zinc smelter in the province of Oruro is expected to take 34 months to construct and will have a capacity of 150,000 tonnes of ore per year to process 65,000 tonnes of zinc and other by-products per year, which is important for increasing local employment and mining industrialization.

In the field of lithium resource development, China-Bolia cooperation has also made breakthroughs. The CATL-Ningde Bangpu-CMOC consortium (CBC) has signed an agreement with Bolivia National Lithium Company to build a pilot plant based on direct lithium extraction technology at the Uyuni Salt Lake in Potosí Province. The signing of the agreement was completed under the witness of Bolivian President Arce, which indicates that the two sides have taken an important step in the industrialization of lithium resources. The pilot plant is expected to produce 2,500 tonnes of lithium carbonate per annum, and if the technology is successfully validated, it will further promote large-scale lithium industrialization cooperation projects.

As the country with the largest lithium reserves in the world and one of the top countries in the world in terms of zinc production, Bolivia's deepening mining cooperation with China can not only accelerate the industrialization of its natural resources and the transformation and upgrading of its energy structure, but also provide valuable resource cooperation opportunities for Chinese enterprises and promote the high-quality development of bilateral economic and trade relations. This series of cooperation measures is a vivid embodiment of the deepening cooperation and mutual benefit between China and Bolias under the framework of the "Belt and Road" initiative, and has laid a solid foundation for the continuous consolidation and upgrading of the strategic partnership between the two countries.

Netizens hotly discussed:

  • See the shadow of the United States hiding behind it.
  • Fun fact: Bolivia was the first country to announce the severance of diplomatic relations with Israel!
  • Familiar recipes, familiar tastes, and products from Lao Mei must be the best.
  • As long as you don't stand on the side of the United States! The United States is fanning the flames everywhere.
  • The United States is the only culprit in controlling the chaos in the world, and it cannot do it openly, so it goes to the mountains of various countries to sow discord.
