DIPLOMACY: More skirting around the issue
Last month saw the first visit to Bolivia by a Chilean foreign
minister for 60 years. Heading up a high-level delegation, Alfredo Moreno
travelled to La Paz to discuss, with his Bolivian peer David Choquehuanca, the
13-point bilateral agenda aimed at repairing diplomatic ties, which were severed
in 1978. The outcome of the visit proved less historic, however, with little
suggestion as to how the hitherto insurmountable points of contention- Bolivia's
demand for access to the sea, which it lost to Chile in the 1879-1884 War of the
Pacific, and rights to the Silala River - would be addressed.
