SANTIAGO DE CHILE, March 20 (Reuters)
El Chile that the U.S. president, Barack Obama, will visit on Monday, in his first tour of Latin America, is a country very different from what Washington for decades stood in his backyard, because today has become a student vantage of Latin America.
currently living reality Chile is very different from that of this country four decades ago went through moments of high political tension that led to a coup d'etat with CIA interference, the State Department and U.S. multinationals.
"There's a new reality in Chile and Latin America but also in the United States itself, which sees it raises serious competitors such as China, "diplomatic sources consulted by Efe.
Chilean authorities highlight the fact that Obama has maintained this Latin American tour amid the nuclear crisis in Japan and the United Nations warning of an attack against Libya if it declares a ceasefire.
Although there will be some demonstrations against the visit by Obama, so far nobody has responded to the suggestion of former Cuban President Fidel Castro that apology "for the imposition of military rule in 1973 and" pay tribute to Salvador Allende and thousands of Chileans murdered by Pinochet's tyranny. "
addition to a more balanced, Latin America and the United States today share common strategies to solve problems like illegal immigration, organized crime and drug trafficking, the sources suggest. Supported
the political success of the transition and the strength of its economy, Chile is presented to the world as the first country in the region that is able to eradicate poverty and has set itself this year horizon 2018.
Peru, Colombia and Brazil share the same model of economic development, against Venezuela and Bolivia, "with closed economies and democracies without a separation of powers."
"Chile has done very well, has the highest per capita income in Latin America, and our transition experience has given us prestige in the world," said Foreign Ministry sources.
And an example of this is that after the overthrow of Hosni Mubarak, the Egyptians are seeking a referral to transition on the Chilean model, as he told Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
This is the world's largest pool located in the region of Valparaiso, Chile, Hotel Resort San Alfonso, with a length of 1 km.
Whatever the political change that occurred a year ago with the arrival at La Moneda's conservative Sebastián Piñera, since military rule ended in 1990, all governments have worked to strengthen and consolidate the democratic institutions.
Therefore, in his visit on Monday, President Barack Obama will be the time to socialize with former Chilean presidents before delivering the expected "Speech of the Americas," the central act of his visit to Chile.
The conference will take place in the cultural center next to the palace of La Moneda will invited the ambassadors of all Latin American countries, as well as the general secretary OAS, José Miguel Insulza, the executive secretary of ECLAC, Alicia Bárcena, and IDB President Luis Alberto Moreno.
Fifty years after President John F. Kennedy launched the Alliance for Progress and promised $ 500 million for Latin American countries, Obama will speak now of a new era in the relationship of the countries that make up the American continent.
And because the treatment must be equal, Chile claimed the United States today to leave behind trade protectionism and apply the same recipes for years given to the countries of the region.
long ago lost the American the fear of trading with the "giant of the North", as evidenced by that 20 percent of U.S. foreign trade is with countries in the region.
"But now is the United States needs to change, because protectionism has prevented, for example, to advance the free trade agreements with Colombia and Panama, officials said.
Things are changing in the region and the world "and Chile is interested in playing an extremely active role" in the process. So look to seal Obama's visit "a relationship that is emerging as a society in which everyone sees what you can contribute."
