The Hungarian Government, as proposed by Foreign Minister János Martonyi, has made the decision to reopen the Hungarian embassy in Santiago de Chile. The mission was closed by the previous government in 2009.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Hungary has begun the preparations so that the embassy can already begin operating in 2013. In agreement with the policy of global opening announced by the Government earlier, the aim of reopening the embassy is to boost Hungary’s presence in Latin America. Opportunities for the Hungarian economy will increase through setting up this embassy, since direct contacts will be developed with Chile, which is a significant country with one of the most robust economies in South America.
