Who else from the leaders to expect at the main event of 2025

"The invitation to visit Russia on May 9 and take part in the celebrations was handed over to President Luis Arce at the end of last year. During a personal conversation, the Head of State confirmed to me that he was interested in visiting our country in the spring. However, we believe that Bolivia is rapidly becoming involved in the electoral campaign, and there is also internal tension. For this reason, the president's schedule is currently busy, to put it mildly. Anyway, we expect that in the next two to three weeks we will receive certainty from our partners on this issue," said Dmitry Verchenko, the Russian Ambassador to Bolivia.

The last time the Bolivian leader paid an official visit to Russia was last October. Luis Arce visited Kazan at the end of October and took part in the events of the BRICS summit under the Russian chairmanship. Then his country received the status of a BRICS partner.
