Chilean President Gabriel Boric on Wednesday named Aurora Williams his new mining minister as he reshuffled his cabinet and looked to push through reforms to increase state income from mining in the world's largest copper producing nation. Williams, who will replace Marcela Hernando, held the same position during the 2014-18 administration of former President Michelle Bachelet. 'I invite the ministers to consolidate our national lithium policy and to continue to maintain Chile's global mining leadership,' Boric said in a ceremony, highlighting the mining industry's role in reducing poverty and inequality.

"I would have liked this cabinet change to take place in a different political climate," he added, calling on political parties to resume talks over proposed tax and pension reforms. Boric has suffered major legislative defeats in Congress, though his lithium reform largely does not require legislative approval. Talks with private lithium miners are set to be led by state miner Codelco.
