The Chilean Army has recently acquired military equipment such as artillery,
fighter aircrafts, Anti-Aircraft Artillery (AAA) and other weapons through a 2,
000 million dollars spend. This action follows the pattern that many countries
in the region have established, by increasing its military expenditures by a
very considerable amount. The increase of Chilean military expenditures was
followed by manoeuvres of the Argentinean and Chilean Air Forces; action that
depicts the possibility of this Latin American country to respond against any
foreign aggression.
Is the duty of the countries in the Disarmament and International Security
Committee to reduce their military expenditures as soon as possible, in order to
either reduce the international tension or to prevent further multinational
confrontations.
