1990年以来，智利政府面临两大历史任务：实现民族和解，妥善处理与军方的关系和人权问题；在实现经济增长的同时关注社会公正，偿还军政府执政时期遗留的“社会债务”。实践证明，智利政府在这两方面的努力均取得了明显的成效。智利的经验可为中国建设和谐社会提供如下借鉴意义：政治稳定和社会稳定是社会和谐的基础，经济增长与社会公正必须互为前提。
Since 1990 the governments of Chile have been faced with two major tasks：achieving democratic reconciliation and dealing with the civilian-military relations in the area of human rights.The civilian governments realized high economic growth rates and，at the same time，repaid “social debts” left over from the military government.Chile’s efforts to promote social development have proved that 1） political and social stability is the foundation for social harmony；and 2） economic growth and social justice reinforce each other.
