Taking as a starting point the existence of a close relationship between democracy and foreign policy, this essay presents some points of view on the conditions that, in our opinion, should be fulfilled for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to play an effective role as the main diplomatic executor of the foreign policy of a new democratic regime in Chile. Some ideas are developed that suggest some criteria considered relevant for the action of the Foreign Ministry under a democratic regime, assuming its peaceful establishment and the commitment of its leading elements to the task of recovering the Chilean international status, which implies the compliance with a series of basic conditions.
