In his first address as head of state before the 81st United Nations General Assembly in New York, the President of Chile, Jos\u00e9 Antonio Kast, highlighted that his nation has begun a decisive stage toward progress. The president assured that the structural reforms necessary for the country’s future are already operational, marking a paradigm shift in government management.<\/p>\n\n
During his speech, which lasted for about 19 minutes, Kast emphasized the intrinsic relationship between order and development. According to the president, citizen security is the fundamental pillar upon which individual and collective freedom is built.<\/p>\n\n
Our government started from a conviction: order is not contrary to freedom. Order is one of the conditions of freedom. Freedom to be able to return home calmly and not be a victim of organized crime. Freedom to undertake and not be hindered by the action of the State.<\/p>Jos\u00e9 Antonio Kast, President of Chile<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n
Border security and control<\/h3>\n\n
One of the central points of the address was the security policy implemented under the Border Shield Plan. This strategy, which combines physical infrastructure, such as trenches in critical areas, with advanced technology and legal measures, has yielded tangible results in migration management.<\/p>\n\n
- 86% reduction in irregular entry into Chilean territory.<\/li>
- 50% increase in expulsions compared to the previous year.<\/li>
- Strengthening of regional cooperation through the Santiago Agreement, which involves nations such as Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador, and Peru.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n
Kast stressed that these actions are not an end in themselves, but tools to generate the necessary confidence to boost investment, employment, and sustained economic growth.<\/p>\n\n
Regional vision and the case of Venezuela<\/h3>\n\n
When analyzing the Latin American landscape, the Chilean president expressed cautious optimism, noting that the region is going through a historic moment of real coordination in the face of common challenges such as organized crime. When referring to Venezuela, Kast was emphatic about his administration’s diplomatic stance:<\/p>\n\n
\u201cUnder new leadership, doors that had been closed for many years have been opened. Chile does neither one thing nor the other; we do not align ourselves unconditionally, but we maintain our own strategic vision,\u201d the president pointed out.<\/p>\n\n
The president’s agenda in New York continues with his participation in the Shield of the Americas summit, an international coalition promoted by the United States to combat organized crime at a continental level.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
