Overview
The Embassy of Chile at 1732 Massachusetts Avenue, N.W. in Washington's Embassy Row represents Chile's interests in the United States. The US is one of Chile's most important trade and investment partners — a bilateral Free Trade Agreement has been in force since 2004. Chile maintains consulates-general in Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, and San Francisco, reflecting the breadth of the bilateral relationship and the Chilean-American community across the country. Chilean copper, lithium, wine, fresh fruit, and salmon are major US imports, while American technology, machinery, and energy sector investment flow to Chile.
