US and Chile agree to cooperate on cyber security

By:

SANTIAGO, Chile — U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and his Chilean counterpart have signed an agreement pledging closer cooperation in combating cyber threats.

Mattis and Defense Minister Alberto Espina held a signing ceremony Thursday after meeting to discuss a range of security issues, including military exercises and cooperation in science and technology. Cyber defense is a topic of growing interest throughout the Western Hemisphere. Banco de Chile, one of the country's biggest commercial banks, has said a hacking operation robbed it of $10 million in June.

Santiago was the fourth stop for Mattis on a tour of South America that began in Brasilia on Sunday. He also visited Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires and is scheduled to hold talks in Bogota, Colombia, on Friday.

    La Suède annonce d'importants investissements de Défense, pour atteindre 2% du PIB

    Le gouvernement suédois a présenté ce jeudi un projet prévoyant d'accélérer le réinvestissement dans son armée, avec l'objectif d'atteindre les 2% du PIB « aussi vite que possible », a indiqué la Première ministre, Magdalena Andersson, lors d'une conférence de presse. Cette décision fait suite à l'invasion de l'Ukraine par la Russie. Magdalena Andersson avait écarté en début de semaine l'option de l'adhésion de la Suède à l'OTAN, estimant qu'une telle initiative risquerait de « déstabiliser » le nord de l'Europe.
