The Bolivian government has commented on its talks with the US which are expected to lead to a new trade agreement between the two countries.

"We are seeing positive developments. Hopefully in the coming months we can realise the signing of this new framework agreement that establishes a relationship of respect between these two countries," Bolivian foreign minister, David Choquehuanca, said.

The US suspended an existing trade agreement with Bolivia in 2008 because it felt the country had failed in its efforts to combat drug cultivation.
