Minister-president Bourgeois welcomed the Bolivian minister of Foreign Affairs, Fernando Huanacuni, on 16 February. They discussed the possibilities to intensify the existing collaboration between Flanders and Bolivia. The MOU that was concluded in 2015 focuses on water resource management.
Minister Huanacuni did a layover in Brussels for this meeting. He is on his way back from the International Court of Justice in the Hague which will hold hearings concerning the dispute between Bolivia and Chili concerning the Bolivian access to the Pacific Ocean.
