Brazil and Bolivia worked on expanding and [[international trade|diversifying trade]] between the two countries in the last quarter of 2008. The 6th Meeting of the Commission for Monitoring Brazil-Bolivia trade was used to this end. As it stood, at the time Brazil was the main destination for exports from Bolivia, having bought, in 2007, 35.7% of the products that Bolivian companies sell to other countries. They were also the main exporter to Bolivia, sending 24.7% of products imported into Bolivia. As industrialized products represented 94.6% of Brazilian sales up to September of the year, Bolivian sales in the same period were limited largely to [[natural gas]], which accounted for up to 92.7% of the total purchased from the country, or US$1.89 billion. The products with the greatest scope for an increase in trade from Brazil to Bolivia were [[crude oil]], [[insecticide]]s, [[aircraft]], [[vehicle]] [[engine]]s, [[soy]] in [[grain]], [[vegetable oil]]s and [[ironworks]] products, amongst others. From Bolivia to Brazil, products such as [[animal feed]], vegetable oil, crude oil, [[tin]], ores of [[precious metal]]s, [[Gemstone|precious gems]], [[dried fruit|dried]] and [[fruit|fresh fruit]], [[plants]], [[leather]] and [[garments]] were also capable of seeing sales grow.<ref>http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewiStockNews+articleid_2775227.html{{Dead link|date=August 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

Bolivia and Chile have had strained relations ever since independence in the early 19th century because of the [[Atacama border dispute]]. Relations soured even more after Bolivia lost its coast to Chile during the [[War of the Pacific]] and became a [[landlocked country]] (Bolivia still claims a corridor to the Pacific Ocean.) Chile and Bolivia have maintained only consular relations since 1978 when territorial negotiations failed.

The election of [[Evo Morales]] strained relations between the two countries. Morales rose to power as the head of a [[trade union]] of [[coca]] growers.  He has campaigned against coca eradication on behalf of the growers, citing the legitimate uses of coca leaves in traditional [[Aymara people|Aymara]] and [[Quechuas|Quechua]] culture.  His policies directly conflict with the eradiction policy of the United States. In 2008 the Bolivian government suspended the operations of the US [[Drug Enforcement Administration]] (DEA) accusing the organisation of being a front for violating the country's [[sovereignty]] and supporting an unsuccessful [[coup d'état]].
