The president-elect speaks directly with the Argentine ambassador Gerardo Werthein in his intention to maintain the best possible relationship with the libertarian government.
The elected president Yamandu Orsi continues working to achieve a meeting with the Argentine president and who will be his counterpart from March 1, Javier Milei; although this would not take place until next year, close to the inauguration of the new Uruguayan government.
The relationship between Uruguay and Argentina has been particularly good over the last year, after I took over Milei the presidency of the neighboring country. More out of a laissez-faire attitude than a proactive foreign policy, the Argentine government gave the green light to important Uruguayan claims such as the dredging of the Port of Montevideo; and his economic measures resolved much of the price gap which seriously affected the local level.
With this background scenario, the question about what will happen once Orsi assume the presidency, considering the different ideological profiles that will exist on each side of the Silver Riverquickly established itself among the country’s business and political circles. Although, quickly, the Frente Amplista leader assured that he would seek to maintain the best possible relationship with the libertarian. And, from the other side of the border, the intention seems to be the same.
In that sense, the Milei government was one of the first to join the international greeting on November 24, after knowing the result of the runoff election and the fact that the Broad Front (FA) He would return to government after five years. “The Argentine Republic congratulates the Uruguayan people for their exemplary civic day and greets the president-elect Yamandu Orsi for his victory,” the Argentine Foreign Ministry published in a brief message in which it also ratified its “commitment to work together with Uruguay” and to “strengthen the shared agenda.”
For its part, Orsi sought the first exchange during the LXV Summit of Mercosur Heads of State which took place in Montevideo last December 6th. The Broad Front understands that a good relationship is not only important in diplomatic and political terms: both countries are also closely linked to business and enterprise level.
When could the first meeting occur?
The meeting at the Mercosur summit did not have time, but that is not why Orsi He lowered his arms in his intention to achieve the meeting. In fact, it was a topic of conversation during the reception organized by the Argentine ambassador in Uruguay, Martín García Moritánon Tuesday night.
There it was said that there was already contact to enable the first meeting between both presidents, which is being negotiated directly by the Argentine foreign minister. Gerardo Werthein —who relieved Diana Mondino— after already knowing the president-elect. The general comment is that the appointment was requested directly by Orsi and not through someone on your team. Although, surely, the last details are already in charge of who will be the successor of Omar Paganini in it Ministry of Relations Exteriors (MRREE), Mario Lubetkin.
For the moment, what is known for sure is that the long-awaited meeting between Orsi and Milei It will not take place until next year and, very possibly, until February, on dates close to the inauguration of the Frente Amplista. In that sense, sources of Pink House confirmed to Scope that the reason is the Argentine president’s busy agenda.
In any case, the future relationship between both governments aims to start on the right foot.
