The images shown show that the US Commander General Laura Richardson arrived in Punta Arenas accompanied by the US ambassador Bernadette Meehan ; which embarked on the oceanic patrol vessel OPV Fuentealba moored at the naval base of the capital of the XII Region ; that he then toured the bi-oceanic passage in a helicopter and that they were in the Chilean sector of Cabo Vírgenes/Punta Dungenes - the southernmost geographical landmark of the South American continent; where he spoke with the members of the maritime control detachment of the neighboring country, at the eastern mouth of the Strait of Magellan, and made an observation from the lighthouse.
The brief tweet from the US Southern Command indicated that yesterday, “Chilean military leaders” received Commander General Laura Richardson and the US diplomatic representative in that country, “for a tour of the Strait of Magellan and a briefing on bilateral security efforts in the region.”
