Condoleezza Rice to make official visit to Chile in March

SANTIAGO.-  Chancellor Alejandro Foxely announced today that the United States Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, will visit Chile in March.  Foxely stated however, that the exact date of the visit, agenda and list of issues to be addressed are still in preparation.

In addition to announcing the visit from the U.S. Secretary of State, Foxely also announced the visits of Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa and Italian President Giorgio Napolitano in Chile from the 15th to the 19th of March.
