CARICOM was represented by a number of Caribbean foreign ministers, including Trinidad FM Dr Surujrattan Rambachan.

Since the two parties established diplomatic ties, Chile has provided CARICOM with technical assistance in several areas, including Spanish language training, trade negotiations and the fight against HIV/AIDS.

The discussions included issues like renewable energy, agriculture and health.
