A Decade of partnership: Chile and Thailand mark 10 years of free trade

10 Sept 21:36 Key points summarised by AI

Chile and Thailand celebrate a decade of their Free Trade Agreement (FTA) in 2025, marking a "very positive year" with strong bilateral trade growth, especially in non-traditional exports like seafood, wood products, fruits, and wine.
The partnership is strategically diversifying beyond premium food products into creative industries (publishing, visual arts) and technology/innovation, positioning Chile as an innovation hub in Latin America for Thailand.
Both nations prioritize food security, with Chile as a reliable, sustainable supplier, and explore long-term cooperation in renewable energy, particularly Chile's rapidly developing green hydrogen sector.
Future efforts aim to expand sanitary approvals for new Chilean products like stone fruits, beef, and lamb, further strengthening Thailand's role as a vital gateway for Chile's broader engagement with the ASEAN region.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
