US embassy cable - 05SANTIAGO1887

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

Classified By: Ambassador Craig Kelly.  Reasons: 1.4 (b and d). 
 
1. (C) Ambassador delivered Ref A demarche to Foreign 
Ministry Director General for External Relations Carlos 
Portales on September 8.  After expressing our appreciation 
for Chile's support for USG positions, the Ambassador 
encouraged Chile to engage more forcefully at the United 
Nations, and make its support for flexibility known to others. 
 
2. (C) Portales reiterated Chile's support for the USG 
positions (as conveyed earlier by Deputy FM Barros -- ref b). 
 He said the GOC was "concerned" about the current 
negotiations among Members, noting it would be a "disaster" 
if we were not able to reach agreement on "at least three or 
four" of the most important parts of the Summit Outcome 
Document.  Portales (who will accompany President Lagos and 
FM Walker to the UNGA) said the GOC would "do what it could" 
to encourage others to be more flexible.
