Bolivia and Chile Sign Agreements Excluding Maritime Claims
Bolivia and Chile have signed cooperation agreements, notably excluding the long-standing issue of Bolivia's maritime access, drawing criticism from Evo Morales.
Background
Bolivia lost its coastline to Chile in the War of the Pacific (1879-1883), a historical grievance that has strained diplomatic relations between the two nations for over a century. Bolivia has consistently sought sovereign access to the Pacific Ocean, while Chile has maintained that the 1904 Peace Treaty settled the border.
