A major financial shortfall has been reported at Chilean diplomatic missions in Argentina, with multiple consulates struggling to cover basic operating expenses, according to a communication sent from the Chilean Embassy in Buenos Aires to the Foreign Ministry in Santiago.

Chilean President Gabriel Boric Font Wednesday chose José Antonio Viera-Gallo to fill the vacancy as Ambassador to Argentina, which would mean the appointee's return to a position he held between 2015 and 2018, Undersecretary of the Interior Manuel Monsalve announced.
