Chilean President José Antonio Kast's historic visit to Bolivia, the first in 71 years, confirms a significant thaw in bilateral relations. Agreements on an 11-point agenda, including a bioceanic fiber optic corridor, were signed, though the core maritime access dispute remains largely unaddressed in public statements. The long-term impact on the territorial dispute is uncertain, but diplomatic normalization is confirmed.
