SUBJECT: BOLIVIA: EVO'S IRANIAN VISIT

Cooperation and Defense of Iran's Nuclear Program 
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 
 
1. Bolivian President Evo Morales finished an official 
two-day visit to Libya and Iran by issuing a joint statement 
with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad declaring that the 
"interference of the United Nations Security Council (in 
Iran's nuclear program) has no legal or technical 
justification."  The joint statement highlights the "peaceful 
nature" of Iran's nuclear activities, adding that Bolivia and 
Iran will continue their struggle against imperialism. 
Ahmadinejad used the occasion of Morales' visit to Tehran to 
announce that Iran and Bolivia will "stick by each other's 
side...The geographical distance between the two countries is 
long but our hearts, thoughts and wills are very close." 
Ahmadinejad congratulated Morales for "standing up to 
foreigners" and commented that "it is not important what 
bad-tempted governments say about our relationship."  The two 
presidents also signed a joint statement calling for an 
expansion in cooperation on energy, industry, and trade 
between the two nations.

Confronting "Hegemony" 
- - - - - - - - - - - - 
 
2. According to media reports, Iran's supreme leader 
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told Morales on September 1 that "The 
awakening of the Latin American nations and their will to 
fulfill their rights is an auspicious event which will 
definitely make the big powers unhappy."  Urging Morales to 
oppose U.S. policies, Khamenei was quoted on Iranian 
television as saying, "Hegemonic powers will obviously 
pressure you because they are opposed to such spirit, but 
resistance against these pressures and reliance on God will 
lead to victory."  Morales responded, "Struggles and popular 
uprising in Latin American nations against America's 
imperialism is inevitable.  Latin America will never be 
America's safe backyard to plunder and pursue its wicked 
ideas."

3. The Bolivian national news service (ABI) reports that in a 
visit with the Iranian Defense Minister, Morales received a 
promise of support from Iran to modernize the Bolivian Armed 
Forces.  According to ABI, "Iranian defense officials 
explained that they are armed to defend themselves, not to be 
aggressive toward anyone, and for that reason production of 
weaponry is important."

4. In an interview with Iranian television, Morales said that 
Iraq and Afghanistan have become a "second Vietnam" for the 
United States.  Morales later commented that Iranians and 
Bolivians "will like to see how their leaders fight 
imperialism and defend the interests of their countries....In 
the past, Bolivia was not allowed to change its ministers or 
ambassadors.  It had to be done through the U.S. ambassador. 
But today, freedom-seeking in Latin American nations is 
spreading."  Morales declared, "In this visit to Tehran we

will encourage even more these (bilateral) 
relations...Nothing and no country will impede our relations 
with the revolutionary nation of Iran...I will never regret 
having come."
