In the opening remarks for the 2016 Santiago conference, AS/COA CEO and President Susan Segal began by pointing out the unique election cycle taking place in the United States and how the anti-immigrant rhetoric of some candidates is contrary to the roots of American culture. This will not affect the United States’ strong institutions, assured Segal.

Like the United States, Chile also has strong institutions, she added. That, coupled with the macroeconomic stability of the country, continues to draw international investors.

Chilean Foreign Affairs Minister Heraldo Muñoz followed with a keynote address.
