Foreign Policy

Chile pursues a pragmatic, trade-oriented foreign policy with strong emphasis on free trade, democratic governance, and human rights. It is a member of the Pacific Alliance with Mexico, Colombia, and Peru, and is actively engaged in Asia-Pacific trade through APEC and CPTPP.

Chile maintains the highest number of free trade agreements of any Latin American country and positions itself as a reliable, rule-of-law-based partner for foreign investment. Its relationship with Bolivia over sea access remains a source of tension, though Chile prevailed at the ICJ.

MUN Delegate Guide

As Chile, you are Latin America's free-trade champion and a model democratic transition story. Use your OECD membership and extensive FTA network to lead on trade liberalisation and economic governance.

The Pinochet legacy gives you credibility on transitional justice, human rights accountability, and democratic resilience. Coordinate with the Pacific Alliance (Mexico, Colombia, Peru) on trade and with Southern Cone partners (Argentina, Uruguay) on regional issues.

Chile's copper and lithium dominance makes you a key player in critical minerals discussions. Advocate for fair resource governance and value-added processing in producing countries. Be prepared to defend your position on Bolivia's sea access claim -- the ICJ ruled in your favour, but the issue generates regional sympathy for Bolivia.
