Nassau, The
Bahamas – His Excellency Alfredo Garcia Castelblanco, Ambassador of the
Republic of Chile to The Bahamas paid a Courtesy Call on the Hon. Brent
Symonette, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs at the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Wednesday, April 6, 2011.
Amongst talks
were the lobby for support of The Bahamas for the two Chilean candidatures for
elections to the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC), May 2011) and the
Organisation of American States’ Inter-American Commission on Human Rights
(ACHR, June 2011).
The
Commonwealth of The Bahamas and the Republic of Chile established diplomatic
relations on December 4, 1990. Since then, relations have emanated from
bilateral exchanges in areas of trade negotiations, language training
progammes, and courses offered by the Diplomacy Academy of Chile.
