Bolivian right-wing presidential hopeful Jorge Quiroga on Monday vowed to scrap the billion-dollar deals struck by the outgoing government with Russia and China to develop the Andean country’s rich lithium resources.

“We don’t recognize (outgoing President Luis) Arce’s contracts… Let’s stop them, they won’t be approved,” the US-educated Quiroga, who has vowed a major shake-up in Bolivia’s alliances if elected president on October 19, told AFP in an interview.
