According to Foreign Relations Minister Carlos Morales Troncoso, the government continues to seek support for a seat as a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council. "We are working on the promotion of our candidacy... it is one of our goals for 2007," said the Minister on the Matutino 11 news program, as reported by Listin Diario.
