Ocean port for Bolivia

In a treaty signed in 1992, Peru and Bolivia have agreed on that Bolivia can use a 5 -kilometer stretch of coastline near Ilo as a port. This non- sovereign access to the Pacific for 99 years should make it possible, according to an agreement between the presidents of the two countries in October 2010 that Bolivia calls himself a nation on the Pacific Ocean. Peru wants the neighboring country provide port facilities, and to allow free access for imports and exports.
