Bolivia and Chile reaffirm ICJ ruling on maritime dispute; Morales criticizes

Bolivian President Luis Arce and Chilean President Sebastián Piñera issued a joint statement affirming commitment to negotiate within international law, referencing the 2018 ICJ ruling that rejected Bolivia's claim for sovereign access to the Pacific. Former President Evo Morales accused the current administration of settling the maritime claim, signaling domestic political friction. The statement maintains the status quo but underscores ongoing diplomatic tensions and internal Bolivian political divisions.
