Buenos Aires, January 18, 2026 – Total News Agency-TNA- President Javier Milei is preparing to attend the 56th Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum, which will take place from January 19 to 23 in the Alpine city of Davos, Switzerland. This forum, in the president's view, is a key platform for projecting his ideological vision and positioning Argentina in the global debate.
In this context, Milei plans to give a speech with strong doctrinal content, aimed at defending the so-called "ideas of freedom," in addition to an intense agenda of bilateral meetings with heads of state and government. For over five decades, the World Economic Forum has presented itself as a space for convergence between companies, governments, international organizations, academics, and civil society representatives, with the aim of understanding global problems and advancing towards coordinated solutions.
A distinctive feature of this edition is that approximately half of the leaders come from the Global South, bringing a vision marked by diverse economic and social realities. The meeting will also incorporate contributions from civil society organizations, union representatives, religious leaders, cultural figures, and social entrepreneurs, as well as academics and specialists from various think tanks.
In this framework, Milei bets on using Davos as an international showcase to amplify his message and reinforce his profile as one of the most disruptive leaders on the current global political stage. The event will also be joined by young leaders from the Global Shapers community and tech innovators, who offer cutting-edge perspectives and direct experience in the face of rapid global changes.
Media coverage and live broadcasts of over 200 sessions seek to ensure the visibility and accessibility of the debates, allowing audiences worldwide to closely follow the discussions and question the consensuses that emerge from the forum. According to the organizers, this breadth of perspectives is essential for addressing complex and interconnected problems such as economic slowdown, geopolitical fragmentation, and technological transformation.
This year's program focuses on finding practical solutions to strengthen resilience, competitiveness, and inclusive growth in an international context marked by questioned norms, tense alliances, and eroded global trust. Central themes include debates on the responsible use of disruptive technologies, including generative artificial intelligence, and their impact on employment, productivity, and governance.
In Davos, CEOs and presidents of the main companies associated with the Forum will be present, along with heads of state and government, senior officials from the G7, G20, and BRICS countries, and leaders of international organizations.
However, the meeting has also been the subject of persistent criticism from left-wing sectors, which point to it as an arena where policies associated with the concentration of wealth and the power of economic elites are legitimized. The 2026 edition will feature the participation of around 3,000 attendees from some 130 countries, reflecting a diversity of perspectives in geographical, economic, and cultural terms.
