In his opening remarks at the India-Chile Joint Commission meeting, Jaishankar said, “Let me welcome you and your delegation to India. It’s a great pleasure to have you all here for the second India-Chile Joint Commission meeting. The first one we did, quite a few years ago, and that was during the COVID time, it was done virtually. I am really glad that we have an opportunity to meet in person.”

“As I welcome you, let me also say, we very much value the participation of Chile in the Voice of Global South Summits. We heard your President, he gave a very very insightful set of remarks at the summit in August. We also thank you very much for your support for our permanent membership in the expanded Security Council. Your own participation in the Trade and Economic Ministers meeting in November 2023 is also something we appreciate very deeply. I think today we have a lot to discuss,” Jaishankar added.
