WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama took the occasion of Tuesday’s visit by Chilean counterpart Michelle Bachelet to laud the Andean nation’s economic policies.

The Chilean experience, he said after an Oval Office meeting with Bachelet, “underscore(s) the fact that no matter how big or small the country is, good economic policies can help grow the economy throughout the world.”

Obama called Chile’s approach “an example for all of us that good fiscal policy, good economic policy, ultimately allows for prosperity through good times and bad times.”

The president also said that he would continue to rely on Bachelet for “good counsel in terms of how the United States can continue to build a strong relationship with all of Latin America.”
