We want to overcome our historical problems with Chile. The sea has divided us and the sea must bring us back together again. Chile has agreed, for the first time, to talk about sea access for Bolivia.

I want to stress that at no time Bolivia acts untimely or irresponsibly.

We are starting a process of decolonization in Bolivia. All this is bringing about change and we will continue.

In 2006, I entered the presidential palace in the main square of La Paz as the first indigenous president of Bolivia. Our government, under the slogan 'Bolivia Changes,' is committed to ending the colonialism, racism and exclusion that many of our people lived under for many centuries.

I'm just the democratic voice of Bolivia.

We are not alone. The world is with us. We are in a time of triumph, a time of change.
