    Seminar Abstract

    The commemoration of the 40 years of Diplomatic Relations between Chile and Singapore is an excellent occasion to evaluate and project the opportunities and challenges of the strategic linkage process between Chile and South East Asia, which encompasses not only economic-trade integration, but also political convergence and cooperation for development which requires both mutual knowledge and trust. For this purpose, a robust political and economic framework has favoured and can further strengthen this strategic link: the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), the Forum of East Asia–Latin America Cooperation (FEALAC), the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) and the Pacific Alliance, to mention the main organisations and mechanisms connecting Latin America and Asia-Pacific. Moreover, this year Chile will once again host the more than 200 APEC 2019 Forum meetings, including the Leaders Summit.

    Thanks to their geopolitical positioning in the Pacific Ocean, Chile and Singapore have established themselves as “gateway” countries in their respective regions. Both nations respect international law and firmly believe in prosperity through a free society and fair market economies. They have a shared vision on achieving progress and social well-being through education, science, culture and communications. Singapore’s interest in becoming a Partner State of the Pacific Alliance, on the one hand, and Chile’s recent acceptance as an ASEAN Development Partner, on the other, illustrate the affinities.
