The President of Bolivia, Evo Morales, raised the tension between Bolivia and Peru as the waters of the Pacific Ocean; to say that the President of Peru, Alan Garcia, perhaps much fatness is affecting you and isn’t well informed Bolivia will never relinquish the sovereign sea return, since the Peruvian President had declared that it makes while Bolivia resigned from the outlet to the sea. I get that impression because it has not become to treat that firm and clearly with Chile. These statements bothered to the Bolivian Government, since the position that has Bolivia on the maritime issue has not changed. In his article 267, the Bolivian Constitution stipulates: the Bolivian State declares its inalienable and imprescriptible right over the territory which gives it access to the Pacific Ocean and its maritime space. The loss of the territory dates back to the year 1879, where Chile occupied the Bolivian port of Antofagasta, initiating the call of war of the Pacific in which Bolivia and Peru defeated Chile.

To be stripped of its only coastal possession, Bolivia ceased to be vented overboard. Since the founding of the United Nations Organization (UN) in 1945 to date, Bolivia has requested the General Assembly so that it will consider your request to retrieve a free and sovereign outlet to the Pacific Ocean. He has also presented the matter to the Organization of American States (OAS). The Bolivian Government dialogues with the Chilean on an agenda that includes the sea, although in more than three years demand, neither of the two Presidents reported on the progress achieved. President Evo Morales, alleges that it is a negotiating bilateral and private; which irritated President Alan Garcia, for this reason Peru sued Chile in the Hague by the maritime boundaries dispute. If it is by the North of Chile, already in the obligation to consult with Peru because those territories before the Pacific war were from Peru. With respect to the demand to the Hague, President Morales He said that the demand for Peru is one of the obstacles to the maritime aspiration of Bolivia. However, Morales is irritated with Peru, while with Chile maintaining cordiality. This topic has been in discussion more than 130 years and yet is not all clear, as it is very difficult to give a sea access to Bolivia, but Bolivia not lost the faith.
