The president of Argentina, Javier Milei, held a meeting with the elected president of Colombia, Abelardo de la Espriella, in the city of Cali, ahead of the inauguration ceremony that will take place this Friday.
The meeting represents a central axis of the Argentine leader's visit and reflected the political alignment between both right-wing leaders at the beginning of a new stage in bilateral relations.
Milei's arrival in Colombian territory occurred as part of his participation in the presidential inauguration that will take place at the Arena USC of the Universidad Santiago de Cali, where De la Espriella will formally assume office. The presence of the Argentine head of state stands out among the international figures who will attend the event.
The meeting between Milei and the elected president takes place in a context of ideological affinity and expectations for a new diplomatic scenario between Buenos Aires and Bogotá. The Argentine leader had already confirmed days earlier his attendance at the transfer of command, in a strong political backing for the new Colombian government.
Before arriving in Colombia, Milei developed an international agenda that included a stop in Quito, where he met with the president of Ecuador, Daniel Noboa. After that activity, the leader continued his tour heading to Cali to participate in the change of command.
