In 2021, the relations between the People's Republic of China and the Plurinational State of Bolivia made steady progress,

Political mutual trust continued to deepen. In January, President Xi Jinping had a phone conversation with Bolivian President Luis Alberto Arce Catacora. In August, NPC Vice Chairman Wu Weihua met via video link with First Vice President of the Chamber of Senators Lindaura Rasguido Mejia. In April, Minister of the International Department of the CPC Central Committee Song Tao had a phone call with President of the Movement for Socialism Party Evo Morales Ayma.

Practical cooperation continued in an orderly way. China remained Bolivia's major trading partner and source of investment. In August, the 14th China-Bolivia Joint Committee on Economy and Trade was successfully held. Minister of Rural Development Remmy Rubén Gonzales attended online the opening ceremony of the fourth China International Import Expo. China provided Bolivia with large quantities of COVID supplies, including vaccines, testing equipment, reagents and ventilators, for which Bolivia expressed deep appreciation.

People-to-people and cultural exchanges expanded. The third phase of China-aided sports technical assistance program made smooth progress and brought a group of Bolivian winter sports athletes to come to China for professional training. In celebration of the Chinese Spring Festival, the Chinese Embassy in Bolivia held an online reception and a photo exhibition, and partnered with Bolivia’s El Pueblo to publish a special issue on “A Hundred Years of the CPC”.
