Former Bolivian President Evo Morales on Thursday addressed neighboring Chilean President Gabriel Boric about his position on restoring the sea for Bolivia.
Bolivia lost to the Pacific Ocean in 1884 after a war with Chile.
After Boric condemned Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and violation of its neighbor’s sovereignty at the United Nations this week, Morales tweeted: “I am sure he will take the same position regarding the 1879 invasion and reaffirm his proposal for #MarParaBolivia. “
Boric has in the past expressed his willingness to restore the sea for Bolivia, but subsidized it after taking office in March. The two countries have not maintained formal diplomatic relations since 1978.
