Chilean President Urges Small Nations Unity
Chile’s President Michelle Bachelet called for the need for regional countries to strengthen ties, so that their voices are heard and rights are respected.

At a news conference at the National Palace Saturday night, after being welcomed by his host, Dominican President Leonel Fernandez, both heads of State agreed on the need to increase international aid for an economic re-construction of Haiti.

Bachelet spoke out for a joint support, so that the poorest country of the region, Haiti, can get out of its political instability and economic deterioration.

Before returning to her country, Bachelet thanked the Dominican Republic’s support to Chilean Jose Miguel Inzulza for his election as general secretary of the Organization of American States.
