The Italian Embassy in Santiago celebrates Republic Day

(ANSA) - SANTIAGO DEL CILE, 04 GIU - On June 2, the Italian Embassy in Chile hosted a reception to mark the 80th anniversary of the Italian Republic, attended by high-ranking local officials, including Chilean Foreign Minister Francisco Pérez Mackenna; the President of the Constitutional Court, Daniela Marzi; the National Prosecutor, Angel Valencia; the Apostolic Nuncio, Archbishop Kurian Mathew Vayalunkal; as well as business leaders and prominent figures. In her welcome address, Ambassador Valeria Biagiotti highlighted the ties with Chile “not only in terms of trade and investment—thanks to the framework agreement between the European Union and Chile—but also in the academic and scientific sectors, aerospace, astronomy, the fight against climate change, and the strengthening of Chilean institutions to restore the peace and security that Chilean families deserve.” Biagiotti then emphasized that “in an increasingly fragmented and precarious international context, the alliance with Chile, a country that promotes multilateralism and democracy, is fundamental for Italy.” Foreign Minister Mackenna, for her part, emphasized that “Italy is a priority partner for Chile in Europe and a key player in our economic agenda.” “Italy’s presence in our country, through investments in strategic sectors such as energy, agriculture, and construction, reflects the strength and maturity of a relationship that continues to broaden its horizons,” he stated. Mackenna then noted that the bilateral relationship goes far beyond trade. “Chile particularly appreciates Italy’s support in the areas of security and the fight against transnational organized crime through initiatives such as the Falcone-Borsellino program,” he concluded.
