President Gabriel Boric of Chile, whose nation has the most important Palestinian inhabitants outdoors of the Middle East, has stated that he plans to open an embassy in Palestine.
“One of the decisions we have taken as a government, I think we have not yet made it public… is that we will raise the level of our official representation in Palestine,” Boric stated on Wednesday evening.
“We will open an embassy under our government.”
The announcement by the leftist president, who started his four-year time period in March 2022, got here at a Christmas ceremony for Chile’s Palestinian group, estimated to be greater than 300,000 robust.
In 1998, Chile opened a consultant workplace to the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah, and in 2011 recognised Palestine as a state and supported its entrance to UNESCO.
Palestinian immigration to Chile started within the late nineteenth century, with waves coming throughout World War I and after the creation of Israel in 1948. 95 % of the group within the nation is Christian.
The giant group is distinguished in Chile’s textile trade and in addition concerned within the nation’s politics.
