The first delegation of the Trinidad and Tobago Manufacturers’ Association (TTMA) will travel to Chile from November 10 to 14. The mission seeks to open new business opportunities and strengthen ties with the Latin American market.

On November 6, Chile’s ambassador Hernán Núñez, hosted a reception at his residence in Ellerslie Park, Maraval. The event was held in honour of the TTMA delegation. During his remarks, Núñez said the meeting represents an important step toward economic cooperation between both countries.

“Your journey to the south of the south will allow you to discover a small, long and friendly nation. A country with an economy open to the world,” Núñez said. He added that Chile has 35 commercial attachés and recorded exports exceeding US$100 billion in 2024. Núñez said Chile aims to serve as a platform connecting the Caribbean with Asian markets. He also said his country is keen to encourage the exchange of products and knowledge with the region.
