Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno said he is working on arrangements for a new trip by President Javier Milei to Israel, during which the head of state will formalise the transfer of Argentina's Embassy to Jerusalem.
“We are working on a new visit by the President to Israel and to finalise the transfer of the Embassy to Jerusalem,” the Foreign Minister said in remarks delivered at an Argentine-Israeli economic forum at the Palacio Libertad in Buenos Aires.
Quirno, who joined Milei for a morning meeting with Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar at the Casa Rosada, appeared at the summit alongside his Israeli counterpart.
The foreign minister said he would travel to Israel in February at Sa’ar’s invitation and that the agenda for the Head of State would be finalised during the visit. The main focus will be Milei’s promise to move Argentina’s Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
Sa’ar said they expect Milei’s visit to take place “in April or May” next year.
He added in a speech at the forum that Argentina and Israel are “friends and strategic partners,” while expressing his wish for a “bright future, shared together.”
