The Chilean Embassy is hosting a “Chile Week Festival” on Tuesday and Wednesday at the Emerald Hall in the Shilla Hotel. On the first day of the festival, officials from Korea and Chile will discuss the friendly ties between the two countries. Exotic Chilean cuisine and a range of musical performances will also be offered. Fifty randomly drawn couples will be invited to enjoy the richness of Chilean culture on display at the festival on Wednesday.

Through the festival, we wish to bring the two countries closer both psychologically and culturally,” said Herman Gutierrez, the Chilean commercial attache.
