Morales visited the project several times during its construction period and said that he is satisfied with the development of the project.
"The project will help our country optimize our energy structure and enhance our power export capacity, providing a strong backup for the implementation of the 'South American energy centers' strategy in Bolivia," Morales said.
He added that Bolivia is deeply grateful for the efforts and help of China, and is committed to maintaining closer ties with China to deepen cooperation, so as to benefit both the nations and their people.
