Chile's Constitutional Convention on Monday presented the final draft of a proposed new Constitution to President Gabriel Boric ahead of a planned September referendum on adopting the text.

The institution's leadership handed the draft to Boric at a closing ceremony in Santiago.

Made up of 154 members, the Convention spent a year creating the new document to replace the current Constitution which was written in 1980 during Augusto Pinochet's rule.
