El jefe de Estado tiene \u201cbuena qu\u00edmica\u201d con la presidenta chilena, Michelle Bachelet, quien se reuni\u00f3 en junio con su hom\u00f3logo estadounidense en una visita oficial a Washington.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTenemos que aprovechar esta oportunidad para diversificar y fortalecer nuestra cooperaci\u00f3n en cada sector\u201d, indic\u00f3 el ministro. \u201cNo cabe duda de que compartimos valores esenciales, de que tenemos una relaci\u00f3n muy clara y arm\u00f3nica\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Record\u00f3 el apoyo que, como embajador, recibi\u00f3 de las autoridades estadounidenses para desarrollar el Plan Chile-California, iniciativa lanzada a comienzos del 2008 para la cooperaci\u00f3n en \u00e1reas que incluyen la energ\u00eda, el medio ambiente y la educaci\u00f3n superior. Con otros estados tambi\u00e9n, Chile mantiene una relaci\u00f3n estrecha y, por ejemplo, en julio abrir\u00e1 dos nuevas oficinas comerciales en Chicago y Atlanta, inform\u00f3 Fern\u00e1ndez. <\/p>\n<p>Santiago adem\u00e1s ha sido seleccionado como anfitri\u00f3n en septiembre del tercer Foro de Competitividad de las Am\u00e9ricas, reuni\u00f3n que se celebra anualmente y que por primera vez se realizar\u00e1 fuera de Estados Unidos. Fern\u00e1ndez invit\u00f3 a los miembros de la AmCham a participar en el evento, al que asistir\u00e1n representantes de 34 pa\u00edses, para analizar c\u00f3mo promover la competencia en la econom\u00eda actual. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cEs una oportunidad notable para el networking\u201d, asever\u00f3, para luego destacar que entre quienes ya han comprometido su asistencia al evento figuran el secretario del Departamento de Comercio de Estados Unidos, Gary Locke; el presidente de Brasil, Luiz In\u00e1cio Lula da Silva; y destacados hombres de negocios de Brasil como Jos\u00e9 Sergio Gabrielli, presidente de Petrobras, y Luciano Coutinho, presidente del Banco Nacional de Desarrollo Econ\u00f3mico y Social de Brasil, BNDES. <\/p>\n<p>En respuesta a una pregunta del presidente de la AmCham, Ricardo Garc\u00eda, sobre la propuesta para que Chile se incorpore a la Organizaci\u00f3n para la Cooperaci\u00f3n y el Desarrollo Econ\u00f3micos (OCDE), Fern\u00e1ndez dijo que el principal obst\u00e1culo que a\u00fan hay que superar es una reforma a la legislaci\u00f3n de Chile sobre el denominado secreto bancario para hacerla acorde con los est\u00e1ndares de la OCDE. Ya se present\u00f3 un proyecto de ley al Congreso, &#8211; sobre el intercambio de esta informaci\u00f3n financiera-, pero la rapidez es esencial si lo que se quiere es que Chile sea invitado a ingresar a la organizaci\u00f3n este a\u00f1o, manifest\u00f3, a\u00f1adiendo que cualquier ayuda que organizaciones como la AmCham puedan entregar ser\u00e1 muy bienvenida. <\/p>\n<p>Esperar m\u00e1s tiempo podr\u00eda significar dejar pasar el actual \u201cclima favorable\u201d para el ingreso de Chile, advirti\u00f3, adem\u00e1s de perder fuerza adquirida tras la visita de Bachelet a la OCDE a comienzos de este a\u00f1o, as\u00ed como todo el avance en el proceso de admisi\u00f3n del pa\u00eds. \u201cNos encontramos en una situaci\u00f3n muy positiva\u201d, indic\u00f3. \u201cQueremos sacar partido de eso\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><b>Evan Rose<\/b> es estudiante en pr\u00e1ctica en <b>AmCham<\/b> de la Universidad de Carolina del Norte, donde escribe para el diario Daily Tar Heel.<!--:--><!--:en--><br \/>\n<!--break--><br \/>\nMariano Fern\u00e1ndez has been Chile\u2019s ambassador to five different countries and has traveled on state business around the globe. But there\u2019s no place easier to work in than the United States, he told an AmCham breakfast on June 12.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs ambassador there, I found the doors were always open,\u201d he said. \u201cThe relationship we\u2019ve had with the United States, that we have right now, is very complete and covers many sectors.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Having served in Washington for three years until his appointment in March as Chile\u2019s foreign minister, Fern\u00e1ndez knows how the two countries stand to benefit from their sustained commercial partnership. The election of President Barack Obama, the minister said, will only continue to improve U.S. relations with Chile and the rest of South America. The head of state has \u201cgood chemistry\u201d with Chilean President Michelle Bachelet, who met with her U.S. counterpart on an official visit to Washington in June.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have to take this opportunity to diversify and strengthen our cooperation in every sector,\u201d said the minister. \u201cThere\u2019s no doubt that we share essential values, that we have a very clear and harmonious relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He recalled the support that, as ambassador, he received from the U.S. authorities in developing the Chile-California plan, an initiative launched in early 2008 for cooperation in areas that include energy, the environment and higher education. With other states too, Chile has close relations and is, for example, opening two new commercial offices in Chicago and Atlanta in July, reported Fern\u00e1ndez. <\/p>\n<p>Santiago has also been selected to host the third annual Americas Competitiveness Forum in September, the first time this meeting will be held outside the United States. Fern\u00e1ndez invited AmCham members to the event, which representatives from 34 countries will attend, to discuss how to promote competition in today\u2019s economy. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a remarkable opportunity for networking,\u201d he said, noting that confirmed guests include U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke, Brazil\u2019s President Luiz In\u00e1cio Lula da Silva and prominent Brazilian businesspeople including Jos\u00e9 Sergio Gabrielli, president of Petrobras, and Luciano Coutinho, president of the BNDES development bank. <\/p>\n<p>In response to a question from AmCham president Ricardo Garc\u00eda about Chile\u2019s proposed entry into the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), Fern\u00e1ndez said that the principal remaining hurdle is a reform of Chile\u2019s legislation on bank client confidentiality to bring it into line with OECD standards. A bill has been presented to Congress but speed is essential, he said, if Chile is to be invited to join this year, adding that any help organizations like AmCham can provide would be very welcome. <\/p>\n<p>Waiting any longer could mean passing up the current \u201cfavorable climate\u201d for Chile\u2019s accession, he warned, and losing steam after Bachelet\u2019s visit to the OECD earlier this year and all the progress in the country\u2019s admissions process. \u201cWe are in a very positive situation,\u201d he said. \u201cWe want to take advantage of that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Evan Rose<\/b> is an intern at <b>AmCham<\/b> from the University of North Carolina where he writes for the Daily Tar Heel newspaper.<!--:--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><!--:es-->Mariano Fern\u00e1ndez ha sido embajador de Chile en cinco pa\u00edses distintos y ha viajado por asuntos de Estado alrededor del mundo.
