Chilean President Michelle Bachelet welcomed Monday her Hungarian counterpart Laszlo Solyom in La Moneda Palace, who is on a two-day official visit as part of a Latin American tour including Ecuador and Peru.
The aim of Solyom's visit is to strengthen ties with Latin America, and to consolidate the economic and trade exchange through specific projects.
Solyom will meet with representatives of the Supreme Court and the National Congress in Chile and visit the cities of Rengo and Valparaiso.
Chile and Hungary returned to the democracy almost at the same time in 1990, allowing a special relation between both nations, which has been reflected in diplomatic, political and multi-lateral areas.
In 2007, Chile's exports to Hungary reached 2.9 million U.S. dollars with products such as fungicide, beans to sow, wines and blackberries, while its import from Hungary was worth almost 18 million dollars with products like cell phones, electric devices and construction materials.
