Alicia Bárcena, Mexican Ambassador to Chile and newly appointed Foreign Minister, received the Order of Merit in the degree of “Grand Cross” by the Foreign Minister of Chile, the highest distinction Chile grants foreign citizens.
The Chilean foreign minister highlighted Bárcena’s extensive career in Chile and said, “es la mujer mexicana que mejor nos conoce…ha realzado el diálogo bilateral, el trabajo conjunto y el profundo capital cultural que Chile y México han acumulado durante casi dos siglos.”
Alicia Bárcena is a member on leave of the Inter-American Dialogue.
