Rome, Italy – In a powerful display of burgeoning diplomatic ties, President Javier Milei and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni held a significant dinner at the historic Chigi Palace, affirming their commitment to strengthening their geopolitical alliance and deepening the longstanding relationship between Argentina and Italy. This high-level engagement underscores a shared ideological vision and a concerted effort to foster robust bilateral cooperation.

The private dinner, attended by key figures including the CEO of Argentina’s YPF and the head of Italy’s ENI, followed a pivotal moment earlier in the day: the witnessing of an agreement between YPF and ENI aimed at significantly boosting gas production in Argentina’s vast Vaca Muerta region. This concrete economic collaboration highlights the tangible benefits of the two leaders’ alignment and their focus on strategic energy development.

President Milei’s meeting with Prime Minister Meloni is a cornerstone of his extensive international tour, which further includes critical diplomatic engagements designed to elevate Argentina’s global presence. His itinerary features upcoming meetings with His Holiness Pope Francis at the Vatican, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Israeli leaders Benjamin Netanyahu and Isaac Herzog. These high-profile interactions demonstrate President Milei’s proactive approach to international relations, positioning Argentina as a key player in crucial global discussions and economic partnerships. The deepening alliance with Italy serves as a powerful testament to President Milei’s successful diplomatic offensive and his unwavering commitment to advancing Argentina’s interests on the world stage.
