Paris. Center-right President Emmanuel Macron seeks to “relaunch cooperation” between France and Latin America on a trip that will take him to Argentina, Brazil and Chile starting Saturday, his office indicated this Thursday.
The visit will begin on Saturday in Buenos Aires, where he will talk with his ultra-liberal counterpart Javier Milei, whom he will seek to attract to the “international consensus” on global challenges such as climate, the presidency specified.
This consensus would be in question “after the US elections,” this source warned, on the same day that Argentina withdrew from the 29th UN climate change conference (COP29), which is being held in Baku.
The trip to South America, 60 years after the three-week trip made by the then president and World War II hero, Charles de Gaulle, takes place on the occasion of the G20 summit in Brazil, scheduled for Monday and Tuesday.
And in a context of tension over the trade agreement under negotiation between the European Union and the Mercosur countries (Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay), whose signature France rejects in its current form. French farmers plan protests starting Monday.
During the G20 summit, focused on sustainable development, energy transition and the fight against poverty, Macron will meet with his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
In Buenos Aires, Macron will seek to “deepen the strategic and historical partnership” in areas such as defense, energy transition and transportation, in a context of opening to “foreign investment” and with the aim of “improving the economic situation” of Argentina, according to the presidency.
The visit will also have a commemorative component, with a visit on Sunday to the church of Santa Cruz, where the French head of state will pay tribute to the twenty French citizens, including two nuns, who disappeared during the Argentine dictatorship (1976-1983). .
Chile will close the South American tour Wednesday and Thursday. In addition to visiting the house of the poet Pablo Neruda and a meeting with the Chilean president, the leftist Gabriel Boric, Macron will give a speech before Parliament in Valparaíso on relations with Latin America.
In this port city, the French president will talk with scientists aboard an icebreaker, ahead of the UN Ocean Conference scheduled for June 2025 in Nice, southeastern France.
