 　　智利希望恢复与玻利维亚双边议程

　　SANTIAGO, March 26 (Xinhua) -- Chilean President Michelle Bachelet Wednesday expressed her interest in "resuming the work agenda" with Bolivia, covering political, economic and border issues.

　　"We hope to have dialogue and resume the work agenda," Bachelet told reporters during a site inspection¹ of road works.

　　"We are going to work on all those topics that are of mutual² interest," she added.

　　The agenda, laid out in 2006 during Bachelet's first presidential term, initially³ included Bolivia's demand for sea access via Chile, which however said it is awaiting the final ruling since Bolivia later took its claim to the Hague-based World Court.

　　The conservative government of Sebastian Pinera, which succeeded Bachelet's, suspended talks with Bolivia and rebuffed its attempts to discuss a sea route through Chile.

　　Bolivia lost some 120,000 square kilometers of coastal⁴ land, and with it sea access, to neighboring Chile in the 1879 War of the Pacific.

　　Bolivia has said that talks on a possible resolution to its demand can take place parallel to the court proceedings⁵.

　　Bolivian Vice⁶ President Alvaro Garcia Linera, during a private trip to Chile's capital Santiago to receive an honorary university degree, said on Tuesday "the doors are open to dialogue with the government of Chile on absolutely all topics, including independent access to the Pacific Ocean."

　　Also Wednesday, Bolivia announced it has named historian Magdalena Cajias as its consul⁷ in Chile, replacing Gen. Ramiro de la Fuente, a former commander in chief of the armed forces.

　　Bolivia and Chile broke off diplomatic ties in 1978, but they do maintain consulates⁸.
