Chile's Foreign Minister Francisco Pérez Mackenna held his first meeting with former foreign ministers on Friday following the government's withdrawal of support for Michelle Bachelet's UN Secretary-General candidacy. The session focused on Chile's foreign policy challenges amid prior objections from attendees. Pérez Mackenna described the dialogue as "very positive".
A month after Chile's government withdrew support, former President Michelle Bachelet presented her vision for leading the United Nations to its 193 member states on Tuesday, amid her bid to become the first woman secretary-general. Having arrived in New York on April 15, she prepared with a team of former Chilean foreign ministers, while facing high opposition expectations and criticism from the U.S. and local sectors.
