Plan for enhanced cooperation between Sweden and Chile

The roadmap identifies a number of areas for enhanced cooperation, including in multilateral forums, on trade issues, sustainable transport solutions, mining and green transition, and a dialogue on irregularities that may have occurred in Chile and Sweden’s international adoption activities. 

“Chile is one of our most like-minded partners in the regions and I see good opportunities to continue developing our cooperation, not least on trade issues and green transition,” says Mr Forssell. 

Sweden and Chile have a similar outlook on many international issues: free trade, climate change, respect for human rights and international law, and the importance of the United Nations for peace and security. Sustainable development in all its dimensions is also a shared priority. Sweden and Chile have strong historical connections and there are currently roughly 60 000 people with Chilean background living in Sweden.
