The recent visit of Chilean President Gabriel Boric Font to Mumbai has opened new avenues for cooperation between Chile and the Indian state of Maharashtra. Accompanied by Chilean Foreign Minister Alberto van Klaveren Storkin and a high-level delegation, the visit focused on both economic and cultural partnerships.
Key areas of interest included:
Agribusiness collaboration with Chile’s growing food industry
Creative industry exchange between Chile’s audiovisual sector and India’s world-renowned Bollywood
This visit reflects the growing importance of subnational and cross-cultural ties in global diplomacy. It also highlights Chile’s broader commitment under President Boric’s leadership to engage in partnerships that go beyond traditional government-level cooperation.
Boric’s visit was not only strategic but also symbolic, pointing to a long-term vision of building stronger ties with Indian regions like Maharashtra.
