April 5, 2024. – This week in Jakarta, Indonesia, on the occasion of the start of the pro tempore presidency of the Pacific Alliance Chile 2024, the Ambassador of Chile, Mario Artaza, received at his residence the heads of the missions of the four countries that make up the Pacific Alliance (PA): Tatiana Rodriguez, Chargé d’Affaires of Colombia; Alonso Gomez, Chargé d’Affaires of Mexico; and Ambassador Luis Tsuboyama of Peru; and representatives of the local government and diplomatic sphere, the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and local companies.
The activity began with a virtual greeting from the Vice Minister of Trade of Chile, Claudia Sanhueza, who referred to the work projected for this year in the Pacific Alliance, the Joint Work Plan between the PA and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), as well as highlighting the relevance for the economies of a greater participation of women in leadership and business development.
During the activity, Ambassador Artaza shared the PA’s work priorities with ASEAN, including the resumption of the meeting of Pacific Alliance and ASEAN ministers, within the framework of the General Assembly of the United Nations (UN), as part of efforts to increase political and cooperation ties.
The Pacific Alliance and ASEAN have maintained a formal level of relationship since 2016, so the ASEAN General Secretariat in Jakarta, Indonesia, is the neuralgic point for the development of the work agenda with the organization. The closeness between both regional integration blocs is manifested through cooperation projects in areas such as gender equity, tourism, marine debris management, among others; annual meetings at the technical level between the PA National Coordinators and the ASEAN Permanent Representatives Committee and frequent meetings at the political level between the Ministries of Foreign Affairs of both blocs, in the context of the UN General Assembly.
