Leaders of Chilean political parties and Government agencies outlined specific measures to further boost bilateral ties, particularly in economy, trade and investment, as well as relations with the CPV in the near future.

Both sides pledged to enhance the exchange of delegations at all levels, maintain bilateral consultation mechanisms, jointly propose measures to lift two-way trade, promote cultural and people-to-people exchange to bring bilateral ties to a new development period.
