Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of the result of the recent referendum in Chile on that country's constitution.

Chile's national referendum on a proposed new constitution was an excellent example of a peaceful democratic exercise and the UK applauds Chile on its respect for the democratic process and its institutional systems. We are confident in the country's continuing success and stability as they continue with the renewal of their constitution.
