Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Minister of State, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, whether he plans to visit Argentina.

The Foreign Secretary spoke to Argentinian President-elect Javier Milei on 22 November 2023 to congratulate him on his election victory and to wish him well as he prepares to take office. As fellow G20 members, we look forward to developing a strong and constructive relationship. The UK and Argentina work well together on many shared priorities, including climate change, science and innovation and human rights, and we are keen to develop and strengthen our collaboration with President-elect Milei's administration. I [Minister Rutley] look forward to engaging with President-elect Milei's administration when I next have the opportunity to visit Argentina.
