RAMALLAH, December 23 (JMCC) - Bolivia on Wednesday announced its official recognition of a sovereign Palestinian state. The country follows the lead of Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay in Latin America.

President Evo Morales told reporters that he made Bolivia's recognition official Wednesday in a letter to Palestinian leader Mahmud Abbas.

Morales said at a press conference that he recognized Palestine as an independent and sovereign state... as have other countries like Brazil.

Bolivia broke off relations with Israel in January 2009, after a heavy Israeli military offensive in Gaza.
