South Korea – Bolivia Diplomatic Relations

Korea and Bolivia established relations in April 1965. The relationship is increasingly defined by Bolivia's enormous lithium potential, with Korean battery companies and the government pursuing resource cooperation agreements. Samsung Engineering has been active in Bolivia's industrial projects. Korea's ODA programs support agriculture, water, and vocational training.

South Korea – Bolivia Trade & Economy

Trade figures appear unusually large due to re-export and entrepôt activity through Bolivia's trade statistics. Korea exported approximately $10.8 billion and imported roughly $11.5 billion in 2023 on paper; actual direct trade is far smaller. The most meaningful economic story is Korean interest in Bolivia's lithium and zinc resources.
