Bolivia launches identity plan with Venezuelan aid


Bolivian President Evo Morales said he is launching on Wednesday a massive free identification campaign based on Venezuelan technical expertise and resources.

Morales is to explain the plan during a ceremony in San José de Chiquitos, where he is to conduct a special meeting with his cabinet, AFP reported.

The Bolivian ruler intends to increase people's participation in the upcoming elections for the Constituent Assembly and the referendum on autonomic provinces, scheduled for July 2nd.

Venezuela is to provide technical and financial support for the USD 8 million Bolivian National Identity Plan, under which identity cards are to be granted for free to more than 1 million people in rural areas.

On Monday, Morales launched a literacy campaign, and praised both Cuban and Venezuelan efforts to fight illiteracy.
