The Host Country Area, Geography, and ClimateLast Updated: 12/8/2003 1:43 PM ... Chiles climate is as varied as its geography. Despite lying in the tropics, northern Chile is characterized by warm summers and mild winters, due to the moderating influence of the cool Humboldt Current. In the central region, where Santiago is located, summers (December to March) are dry, with warm days reaching into the high 80s or low 90s, but cooler nights. Winter (June to September) is generally cold, foggy and rainy (rainfall averages 14 inches a year); temperatures climb into the 50s and 60s during the day and usually drop to the 40s at night, with occasional frost. The southern Lake District has cooler average temperatures and is wetter than the central region, with annual rainfall reaching 100 inches. In the far south, the climate is colder still, with gale force winds much of the year.

Secretary of State Rice: Interview by Alberto Pando of CNN En Espaol
And it is sometimes talked about in terms of ideology or geography. I don't think that is the way to think about this hemisphere. The United States can have good relations with any state in the region that is democratically elected and governs democratically, no matter where they come from in the political spectrum. Look at our relationship with Chile. This is a government that is center-left. We have outstanding relations with Chile. And I think that you will find that around the hemisphere. ... [Read More]

Promotion of Democracy at the 59th UN General Assembly
Also under the umbrella of the Community, numerous democracies of central Europe -- ones which have learned tremendously from their experience over the last 20 years -- have expressed their desire to reach out to and aid those who are building a representative government in Iraq. Under the leadership of our colleague, Czech Ambassador Martin Palous, 12 ambassadors representing countries from that region sent a letter to the Chileans to express their desire and readiness to help. Moreover, we sponsored a Dialogue on Democracy that brought together representatives of 14 free nations in Latin America and Africa. Regardless of geography, history, or economic power, new and emerging democracies have much in common, and discussing what has worked and what has not worked on the road toward democratic development can be highly useful for others facing similar situations. ...
