President Sebastián Piñera, will receive this Sunday in Santiago the representative of Colombia, Iván Duque, on a working visit to address regional efforts in the face of the covid-19 pandemic, official sources reported this Friday.
Both representatives will also discuss regional integration and collaboration through mechanisms such as the Forum for the Progress of South America (Prosur) and the Pacific Alliance, detailed a press release from the Chilean Presidency.
The challenges of strengthening the social protection network, recovering lost jobs and reviving our economies will also be on the labour table, official information abounded.
This is the first visit by a foreign representative receiving Piñera since he received Estonian President Kersti Kaljulaid on an official visit on 16 January.
Duque will arrive in Santiago after attending in La Paz the inauguration ceremony of Bolivia’s new president, Luis Arce, in which the Colombian representative will also meet, among others, King Felipe VI of Spain.
Piñera and Duque have worked in the distance during the pandemic months to join their countries to the COVAX Facility platform, promoted by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Alliance for Vaccination (GAVI) to distribute the covid-19 vaccine.
In addition, they have integrated the Prosur meetings in which, among other things, a protocol for the progressive opening of borders, closed in many territories due to the pandemic, is being worked on.
Chile, which encounters a night-time curfew and a state of emergency for catastrophe until mid-December, is the sixteenth most infected country in the world, with a total of 518,390, according to American Johns Hopkins University.
Colombia, for its part, counts a total of 1,117,977 of the infected and ranks ninth in the world rankings.
