La Paz, May 9 (Prensa Latina) Bolivia''s President Evo Morales urged during a press conference at the Casa Grande del Pueblo (Executive seat) on Thursday to resolve outstanding issues between his country and Chile through talks.

'I told Chile's president several times that we have pending issues and we can't leave for future generations,' he told national and international media representatives.

Morales said he is sending greeting to the House of Representatives of Chile, which asked the Moneda Palace to reopen diplomatic relations with the Plurinational State to continue the dialogue, and regretted that this Executive has not responded so far. He added that on the basis of the conclusions of the International Court of Justice in The Hague regarding Bolivia's maritime claim, he sent a letter that still has no response.

'His Congress, his people, ask that we should resume relations, all our lives we are going to be neighboring countries,' emphasized the statesman.

He informed that during the visit that will begin on May 17 the secretary general of the Organization of American States (OAS), Luis Almagro, Bolivia will report on the ruling on the maritime lawsuit in The Hague.

In sporting terms, he considered that the result was three to one.

'Why three to one?' he asked, and in replying he stressed first and foremost that for the first time an international organization officially recognized that Bolivia was born with a sea, 'more than 400 kilometers on the Pacific coast'.

He regretted that some former presidents and other Chilean authorities say that Bolivia never had access to the sea.

Secondly, the Bolivian leader pointed out that the Court affirms and reaffirms that no treaty, no dialogue has resolved the sea issue, and thirdly, recommends that talks should continue to resolve Bolivia's sea outlet.

He reiterated the conviction that the ruling is three to one, and reaffirmed that his government is under an obligation to inform not only the OAS but all international institutions and personalities.

Morales confirmed that the next step will be before the United Nations, because the International Court of Justice is an institution created by the UN to avoid conflicts and seek peaceful solutions.
