BOLIVIA-CHILE-DIPLOMACY-BORDER-MILITARY-MORALES

Bolivian soldier Augusto Cardenas (L), who was arrested over a month ago in Chile along with soldiers Alex Choque (covered) and Jose Luis Fernandez (R) after illegaly trespassing the border whilst in pursuit of car smugglers, is being decorated by Bolivian President Evo Morales (R), during a ceremony in front of the presidential palace Quemado in La Paz, on March 4, 2013. The three Bolivian soldiers, whose arrest in January had heightened the tense relations between the two South American neighbours, where welcomed in their country last week with military honours.
