President Javier Milei and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Diana Mondino , will hold a meeting tomorrow with the Secretary of State and former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom David Cameron , within the framework of their participation in the Davos Summit .
David Cameron with former president Mauricio Macri, at the same Davos Forum, in January 2016.
The meeting will have as a backdrop the change in Argentina's foreign policy with respect to the previous government, and will mark the Government's debut on the thorny issue of claiming sovereignty of the Malvinas Islands.
In tune with Western democracies, President Milei has been proclaiming since his presidential campaign a shift in alignment with democratic and liberal powers, and in this context it will be the first trip to Davos in 6 years after Macri participated in the summit in 2018.
The person in charge of confirming the meeting with Cameron was presidential spokesperson Manuel Adorni , based on the decision that the president join the bilateral meeting that was originally scheduled to be exclusively between foreign ministers.
Regarding the Malvinas issue, the words that the Argentine Foreign Minister told the British media The Telegraph still resonate that "the rights of the islanders must be respected," a phrase that Mondino later came out to clarify that this did not imply at all recognizing them. sovereignty.
The Economic Forum will be attended this year by important world figures such as the President of France, Emmanuel Macron, the German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, the Secretary of State of the United States, Anthony Blinken, the President of Israel, Isaac Herzog and the President Ukrainian, Volodomir Zelenski, who was recently in Argentina during Milei's inauguration. However, so far no new bilateral meetings have been made official with any of these leaders.
A meeting is scheduled with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands, Hanke Bruins Slot, while in the afternoon Mondino will also meet with his counterparts from Lithuania, the Czech Republic and Switzerland.
