The Indonesian-Chilean Chamber of Commerce and Culture highlights the recent developments in the Chilean and Argentinean energy and mining sectors. The Chamber recognizes these advancements as crucial steps towards a more integrated and prosperous South America.

Chilean ports have been identified as strategic outlets for the oil and gas from Argentina's Vaca Muerta field, as discussed during the 39th Committee of Integration of the Lakes. The convention, held in Neuquén, Argentina, brought together authorities from key regions in both countries, emphasizing the importance of energy, trade, and border development.

In 2024, Chile further solidified its position as a global leader in mining exports, particularly in the lithium market, where it accounted for 78% of global exports. The country also maintained its position as the world's top exporter of copper, with shipments exceeding US$50.155 billion, representing 15% of the global total. The copper concentrate and cathodes markets were particularly dominated by Chile, making up 29% and 20% of the global market respectively.

Chile's strong position in the global export market is a testament to the country's efforts to modernize and diversify its economic and trade agreements. In 2024, Chile was the world's largest exporter of 24 products, demonstrating the country's productive capacity and diverse export portfolio.

Meanwhile, Argentina achieved a trade surplus of over US$3 billion in its energy sector in 2025, largely due to strong oil exports to the U.S. and Chile. This development further emphasizes the growing interconnection of the South American energy market.

Chile's dominance in the global copper and lithium markets continued in 2024, despite a year marked by global economic uncertainty. The country's strategic position in international trade was further underscored by its success in the "Pisco War" against Peru, where Chile managed to gain significant market share in the international spirit market.
