US embassy cable - 05SANTIAGO2426

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.

A request for updated information on Chile-Cuba relations 
during the six-month period from May to November 2005.  Ref B

told poloff on November 22 that the GOC had not undertaken 
any Cuba-related initiatives during the last six months. 
Geiger cited two reasons: one, "there is nothing serious 
going on;" two, the Chilean and Cuban foreign ministries 
would be holding consultations this week (November 21-25) in 
Havana.  Geiger observed that the Chilean team was expected 
to return to Chile o/a November 25 and said he would brief us 
shortly after their return. 
 
3. (C) Post will report the results of these meetings as soon 
as we receive a readout from the MFA.  No further information
