President Evo Morales says despite normalisation of diplomatic relations with US, drug agents will not be allowed back.

Morales told reporters in Bogota on Tuesday during a regional summit in the Colombian capital that it was a question of "dignity and sovereignty".

As a coca growers' union leader before his 2005 election, Morales said he was "personally a victim" because US agents controlled Bolivia's military and police.

Bolivia's anti-narcotics police, working closely with the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), often clashed with coca growers and Morales has said they once beat him unconscious.

"They repressed us in Bolivia. That has ended," Morales said.
