Bolivia,
Chile to
Resume
Talks in
2011
LA PAZ -
In early
January,
Bolivia
will
make the
necessary
arrangements
to
address
its
13-point
agenda
with
Chile,
announced
Foreign
Minister
David
Choquehuanca.
Choquehuanca
said
that in
early
2001 he
would
contact
his
Chilean
counterpart,
Alfredo
Moreno,
so that
their
bilateral
commission
can
begin
meeting.
Both
foreign
ministries
should
analyze
the
composition
of that
commission,
and not
rule out
its
members
including
deputy
foreign
ministers
and
other
personalities,
he
added,
according
to the
state
newspaper
Cambio.
Choquehuanca
explained
that the
idea is
to have
not just
two
annual
meetings
but also
ongoing,
periodic
meetings
to bring
Chile
and
Bolivia
closer
together
until
they
find
concrete,
feasible
and
useful
solutions.
The
presidents
have
ratified
the
13-point
agenda
and also
their
political
will to
solve
the
issue of
access
to the
sea, the
foreign
minister
affirmed.
Cambio
reported
that
President
Evo
Morales
and
Chilean
President
Sebastian
Piñera
agreed
Friday
to
create
working
committee
to make
progress
on the
bilateral
agenda.
