BOGOTA, May 20 (Xinhua) -- Colombia's Foreign Ministry announced on Wednesday that it has expelled Ariel Percy Molina Pimentel, charge d'affaires of the Bolivian Embassy in Colombia.
It is taken in a reciprocal move after Bolivia asked Colombia's ambassador to leave.
In a statement, the ministry said the decision was taken under Article 9 of the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, following Bolivia's recent decision regarding the presence of Colombian Ambassador Elizabeth Garcia in that country. ■
