The President decided to include Argentina in the international alliance of countries proposed by his counterpart from Brazil, which seeks to implement global programs and strategies to end hunger in the world. It was during the participation of the Argentine head of state in the meeting of leaders held this Monday in Rio de Janeiro.
Despite the back and forth, Argentina joins Lula da Silva’s proposal to join the Global Alliance against Hunger and Poverty. The tension remained until the last moment because President Javier Milei arrived at the G20 summit in Rio de Janeiro with a position totally opposed to the plan, to which all the countries participating in the summit adhered.
Against the initial forecast, the Government finally signed and joined the Global Alliance against Hunger, which was also joined by 82 countries, two regional blocs, 24 international organizations and 9 international financial institutions, according to the final document published by Brasilia.

This alliance has the support of 80 countries and seeks to implement strategies to combat poverty and famine in the world. However, Argentina’s accession was carried out under specific conditions that reflect Milei’s market-oriented policies and the reduction of state interventionism.
Although Milei’s gesture was seen as a way not to be excluded from an important multilateral agreement, his government made it clear that, although it will participate in this coalition, it will not accept collective measures or specific programs that are not aligned with its economic vision.
In its official statement, Argentina emphasized that its approach will be different from that of other members, highlighting the importance of market reforms that respect individual rights, and distancing itself from socialist policies that, according to the Argentine government, have proven to be ineffective in the fight against poverty and hunger.
This agreement comes amid a somewhat tense diplomatic relationship between the two leaders, reflected in a cold greeting during the start of the summit. However, it is expected that, despite the differences, the Milei and Lula governments will sign an agreement for the export of gas from Vaca Muerta to Brazil, which could represent a significant opportunity for bilateral economic cooperation.
This gesture by Milei also underlines the flexibility of the Global Alliance Against Hunger, which allows its members to adhere without fully committing to all aspects of the original project, facilitating greater participation from countries with diverse political ideologies.
