Embassy participated at Pride Parade in Santiago
The British Embassy was the first diplomatic mission in Chile to fly the rainbow flag along with the national flag in 2012.
Embassy staff, families and friends participated at Santiago's Pride Parade.
The British Embassy participated at the 2018 Pride Parade held in Santiago on 23 June. Organised by two of the most important Chilean LGBTI organisations, Movilh and Fundación Iguales, the Parade attracted over 80,000 people who marched to demand respect for the rights of the LGBTI community in Chile.
The Embassy group was joined by representatives from EU Embassies posted in Santiago (Belgium and the Netherlands), the USA, Canada and Israel, as well as members of the British-Chilean Chamber of Commerce and the British Council.

This was the first time that BE Santiago participated in the March. In 2012, the British Embassy was the first diplomatic mission in Chile to fly the Rainbow Flag along with the national flag in 2012.
On this occasion, we are very proud to say that the Embassy group was congratulated for its enthusiasm. Needless to say that the GREAT brand was praised by the Parade´s organisers, the public and the media.
