“Revitalize the Andean Community of Nations that was built several decades ago between our countries (…) Venezuela and Chile left that pact, it was therefore weakened, but an institutional framework still remains that, in my opinion, should be strengthened. We have invited Chile to look again at the Andean Community of Nations, among various integration processes (…) Strengthen CELAC, which is also a much broader institution”, President Petro noted.
The president added that “they have been raised in drafts” Topics such as the integration of electrical networks and the commitment to clean energy, as well as topics on peace and indigenous insertion.
(Tax, external accounts, GDP and employment, Petro challenges).
To its turn, President Boric stated that other points that were touched on in the conversation were the solution to the migration phenomena in the region, the trafficking of organized crime and feminist foreign policy.
“The migratory flow that we have in the region, from north to south, is something that we have to address together. No country can provide a single answer on its own. To the extent that we protect and respect our borders, we will also be helping to provide better conditions”said the Chilean president.
