Chile’s political debate over its strategic capabilities has intensified after a series of controversies with Argentina. Former diplomatic and defense officials are urging the government to strengthen the country’s position.

The calls came despite an effort from Argentina to lower the temperature. Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno addressed the controversy after Argentina was described as a “bicontinental and bioceanic” country.
