I have not personally had contacts with President Morales or with members of his Administration since his and the MAS party's successes in the presidential and legislative elections held in Bolivia in December 2005. Ireland's Ambassador to Argentina attended the inauguration of President Morales in La Paz on 22 January 2006 and conveyed to him the best wishes of the Government.

In addition, the Taoiseach and Minister of State Noel Treacy attended the IV EU-Latin America and Caribbean Summit in Vienna on 11-12 May, in which President Morales also participated.
