Chilean Foreign Minister Alberto Klaveren arrived in the national capital on Tuesday for a two-day visit to India. During his stay, he will attend the second India-Chile Joint Commission Meeting to discuss bilateral cooperation with External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar and enhance relations between the two countries. Klaveren’s official visit to India is scheduled from August 27-29.

The Ministry of External Affairs shared a post on its X, “FM Alberto Klaveren of Chile arrives to a warm welcome in New Delhi for the second India-Chile Joint Commission Meeting.”

“An opportunity to discuss our bilateral cooperation and advance our ties further,” the post added.

Alberto van Klaveren, along with Chile’s Agriculture Minister Esteban Valenzuela, will take part in the Chile-India Business (Agriculture) Summit today before heading to Mumbai.

In a press release, MEA stated, “Chile is a key partner of India in the Latin American region. The forthcoming visit of Minister Klaveren will provide both sides an opportunity to review the progress in bilateral relations and explore new avenues for cooperation, further strengthening bilateral ties.”

In May, Chile’s Ambassador to India, Juan Angula, and Police Attache PDI (Policia De Investigaciones De Chile), Rafael Andres Tellez Benucci, visited the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) headquarters. They met with CBI Director Praveen Sood and other senior officials to discuss the collaboration between the CBI and PDI. They recognised the close collaboration between the CBI and PDI, particularly in tackling technology-enabled crimes, drug trafficking, and transnational crimes.

“During the visit, he held discussions with Praveen Sood, Director, CBI and senior officials of CBI. He acknowledged the close cooperation between CBI and PDI, especially in areas of combating technology-enabled crimes, drug trafficking and transnational crimes. He underscored the importance of collaborative efforts and thanked CBI for arranging events in the past with PDI, Chile, for exchange of expertise on forensics and combating organised crime,” CBI said in a press release.

The Chilean delegation toured the CBI’s Global Operations Centre. The two parties discussed enhancing their collaborative framework for police cooperation, according to the release.
