Jorge Escobari Cusicanqui (La Paz, September 3, 1926 — June 14, 2000) was a Bolivian lawyer, diplomat, parliamentarian and politician, who served as foreign minister of Bolivia from May 11, 1979, to 8 August 1979, during the government of President David Padilla Arancibia.
In the country's foreign policy, he was characterized by his constant concern for the maritime claim on Bolivia's return to the sea with sovereignty.
[citation needed] In 1989, the head of the Conciencia de Patria (CONDEPA) political party, Carlos Palenque Avilés, invited Escobari to accompany him as a candidate for vice presidency in the 1989 Bolivian general elections.
That same year, CONDEPA nominated Escobari for the position of Senator of Bolivia, representing the Department of La Paz, which won the seat.
[citation needed] Escobari was not nominated for re-election and distanced himself from CONDEPA to accompany Julio Mantilla in the creation of the MPP.
