Martonyi Reopens Hungarian Embassy In Santiago De Chile
Foreign Minister János Martonyi paid an official visit to Chile between January 5 and 7 and reopened the Hungarian embassy in Santiago de Chile. Martonyi also held talks with Chilean counterpart Alfredo Moreno Charme and expressed thanks for keeping the Chilean embassy in Budapest open despite the closing of the Hungarian one in Chile in 2009, a statement by the ministry said.

Martonyi told Moreno that Hungary was paying increased attention to the Latin American region as part of its global opening and plans to strengthen cooperation with countries of the region in the areas of the economy, science and education. Hungarian exports to Chile in the past three years, starting from a low base, have grown.

In 2012, Hungarian exports amounted to 32.38 million dollars while imports came to 7.54 million. Hungary exports mainly office and household equipment as well as mobile telephones and technical devices, while Chile’s exports to Hungary mainly comprise cellulose, fruit and vegetables.
