Chile, Argentina: Peace not Hunger
Chilean President Michelle Bachelet is winding up this Wednesday her over 24-hour official visit to Buenos Aires, in which she has ratified along with her counterpart Nestor Kirchner strategic bilateral relations.

Her first trip abroad after taking power hardly 11 days ago, Bachelet and Kirchner agreed Tuesday to advance towards cooperation, as well as acknowledged common political ground between their respective governments.

Chile and Argentina fought together for their independence almost two centuries ago and later suffered the most terrible dictatorships of the region, but now both nations are in peace and with governments against hunger and poverty, stated Kirchner.

The Chilean stateswoman spoke in favor of a larger integration among the Southern Cone countries to achieve their individual and regional development.

Today´s agenda includes meeting with Judge Enrique Petracci and governors from 11 provinces bordering Chile.
