Bolivia–Cuba relations refers to the diplomatic relations between Bolivia and Cuba. Both nations are members of ALBA and the United Nations. Relations were established on January 11, 1983 under Bolivian President Hernán Siles Zuazo and Cuban President Fidel Castro after twenty years of no relations.[1] In 2013, relations were characterized as "excellent" by Cuban ambassador to Bolivia La Paz Rolando Gomez.[2]

Bolivia and Cuba are staunch allies and founding members of the alternative trade bloc ALBA. Bolivia is a long time recipient of aid from Cuba, especially Cuban medical internationalism.[3]
