In Santiago, Secretary Rice will meet with President Michelle Bachelet and Foreign Minister Alejandro Foxley to discuss issues of mutual interest, particularly the deepening of our bilateral relationship through partnerships between U.S. and Chilean institutions, such as the partnership between Chile and the State of California.
