Some supportReported by 2 outlets

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The two nations maintain a complex operational relationship, with Bolivia routing about 70% of its foreign trade through Chilean ports. The planned talks aim to improve relations strained since Bolivia lost its Pacific coastline to Chile in a 19th-century war, potentially deepening economic interdependence.

Chile and Bolivia have maintained consulates rather than ambassador-level relations since 1978.
