I have not yet had an opportunity to meet with President Michelle Bachelet of Chile. Minister of State Tom Kitt attended her inauguration on 11 March 2006 in Valparaíso and had an opportunity to convey the best wishes of the Government to both President Bachelet and outgoing President Ricardo Lagos. In addition, the Taoiseach and Minister of State Noel Treacy attended the IV EU-Latin America and Caribbean Summit in Vienna on 11-12 May, in which President Bachelet also participated.
