Karen Longaric Rodríguez is a Bolivian lawyer, professor, columnist and politician who served as the Foreign Minister of Bolivia during the interim administration of Jeanine Áñez.

[4] Prior to her current position, she has twice held positions in the Foreign Ministry of Bolivia, first as Director of International Organizations and then as Director of Legal Affairs and International Treaties.

Her main focus since her appointment has been to boost and strengthen ties with other countries, especially with those where relations had been broken during the government of Evo Morales, such as the United States and Canada, while distancing Bolivia from strong allies of Morales.

[7] On 15 November 2019, Longaric expelled 725 Cuban citizens, mostly medical doctors, after she raised concerns about their alleged involvement in protests.

[8][9] In January 2020, her ministry suspended relations with Cuba in response to remarks made by Cuban counterpart Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, who called Áñez a "liar," "coupist" and "self-proclaimed" in reference to her latest statements about the role of Cuban medical doctors in the country.
