Pyongyang, October 8 (KCNA) -- The Bolivian minister of Interior on October 3 condemned the U.S. smear campaign against his country.

The U.S. is using the anti-drug trafficking issue for a campaign against Bolivia, he said, denouncing the U.S. for linking the progressive government of his country with drug and terrorism.

His country has registered many achievements in anti-drug campaign without help of the U.S., he noted, stressing that Bolivia does not need any military base to combat drug trafficking.
