Diplomatic gears turned smoothly in New Delhi as India’s Vice President C.P. Radhakrishnan engaged Bolivia’s Vice President Edmundo Lara Montano amid the AI Impact Summit. Their discussions zeroed in on bolstering cooperation across solar energy, critical minerals extraction, digital transformation, tertiary education, and healthcare delivery.
The two expressed mutual gratification at the burgeoning bilateral framework. Conversations extended to fortifying joint efforts on global stages. The Vice President’s X post captured the essence: a meeting at the Vice President’s Enclave that reaffirmed commitment to multifaceted collaboration.
Arriving Tuesday, Montano was greeted by Minister Satish Chandra Dubey, with the MEA tweeting about this milestone in digital friendship. This follows a pattern: Minister Pabitra Margherita’s November presence at President Rodrigo Paz Pereira’s oath-taking, delivering India’s best wishes and partnership vows.
PM Modi’s prompt October 2025 felicitation of Pereira’s second-round victory—securing the presidency at age 58—had praised the intimate ties as a foundation for collaborative prosperity.
Analysts view this as strategic diplomacy, aligning India’s ‘Make in India’ with Bolivia’s resource wealth. Expect more such meets to unlock trade potentials in renewables and tech, fostering resilient economic links in a multipolar world.
