Ambassador Abhilasha Joshi paid courtesy calls on senior Chilean officials, including Ms. Paula Estevez, Vice-Minister of SUBREI; Mr. Patricio Torres, Vice-Minister of Foreign Affairs; and Ambassador Frank Tressler, Secretary General for Foreign Policy, to reinforce and advance India–Chile bilateral relations.

The discussions focused on expanding cooperation across key sectors, including trade and investment, critical minerals, pharmaceuticals, technology, engineering goods, and green energy, alongside strengthening cultural and people-to-people ties. Both sides acknowledged the growing scope of collaboration and the importance of sustained high-level engagement.

The interactions also reaffirmed the shared commitment to build on the momentum generated by last year’s high-level visit to India and to further deepen strategic and economic partnerships. Particular emphasis was placed on working towards the early conclusion of a Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement (CECA), which is expected to significantly enhance bilateral trade and investment flows.

The meetings underscore the strong and evolving partnership between India and Chile, driven by shared priorities in sustainable development, innovation, and long-term economic cooperation.
