Visit To Britain Of Chilean Parliamentarians

EDM number 1156 in 1989-90, proposed by Jimmy Wray on 21/06/1990.

That this House warmly welcomes the visit to Britain by the all-party parliamentary delegation from Chile; looks forward to a close co-operation with the elected representatives of the Chamber of Deputies and its president, Senor Jose A. Viera-Gallo, head of the delegation; sees the re-birth of democracy in Chile as consolidation of democracy in Latin America and as a sign of hope for shared prosperity, freedom and peace of all the Latin American peoples; and calls for common efforts to build a world safe from fear, hatred and environmental pollution and also for more cultural, scientific and sporting links between all countries, especially between Britain and Chile, whose friendship started in Chile's pre-independence days when amongst Venezuelan, Argentinian and other Latin Americans, Don Bernardo O'Higgins, future leader of the independence of Chile, studied and lived in this country more than two hundred years ago.
