Argentine President Javier Milei met with French President Emmanuel Macron at the Élysée Palace in Paris on Thursday, according to La Nación. The two leaders discussed investment, and Milei was asked about his government's economic adjustment program during the encounter.
La Nación reports that the meeting centered on investment matters, with questions also raised about the austerity measures Milei has pursued in Argentina. The outlet did not detail the specific investment proposals discussed or who posed the questions about the adjustment.
The visit took place during Argentina Week in Paris, an event presenting the country to international investors. Chaco Governor Leandro Zdero took part in that presentation, according to the provincial government's official announcement. The gathering reflects Argentina's broader push to attract foreign capital during Milei's presidency.
Coverage of the trip also touched on domestic political themes. The Argentine ambassador, Sielecki, praised Neuquén Governor Figueroa for defending the province's resources, according to neuqueninforma.gob.ar. Separately, an agricultural sector figure identified only as Pino said Argentina needs the right conditions to take advantage of opportunities in Europe through greater production and investment, News Agrofy reported.
Milei's economic program has been a recurring subject in his foreign engagements, and his Paris stop placed that agenda before a European audience alongside the investment pitch.
What to watch next: whether the Élysée meeting produces concrete investment commitments, and how Argentina's adjustment program continues to shape Milei's reception abroad.
