Bilateral Relations
There is a very active, albeit small Greek community in Chile, numbering some 2.000 - 3000 people. Despite the great distance separating them from their homeland, the Greeks of Chile maintain their emotional ties with Greece and participate actively in the local community. The Greek community is organized in seven associations each active in a particular city.
Chile falls under the jurisdiction of the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of South America, which is based in Buenos Aires.
Several Centers of Hellenic Studies have been established in Chile, most notably the Center for Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies at the University of Santiago.
