President Javier Milei attended the inauguration ceremony of Chile's newly elected president, José Antonio Kast, held this noon at the National Congress in Valparaíso. According to the Argentine News Agency, the head of state had to postpone the bilateral meeting scheduled for the morning but closely followed the swearing-in ceremony, which was attended by outgoing President Gabriel Boric. The Casa Rosada celebrated Kast's victory with the intention of strengthening the presence of the right in the region at the expense of the position embodied by Brazil's president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. After defeating Jeannette Jara, the Communist Party candidate, the Republican leader visited the libertarian in Buenos Aires to intensify bilateral relations between the nations. On this occasion, the president interrupted his agenda in the United States, where he was for Argentina Week, where he spoke last Tuesday, and traveled with a limited delegation composed by the Secretary General of the Presidency, Karina Milei, and the Chancellor, Pablo Quirno. After violating Chilean protocol by arriving later than the newly elected head of state, Javier Milei took photos with several attendees. In the fraternal contact he maintained with Kast, the latter introduced him to several of his officials present at the event. Until then, official sources assured that this is an express trip, and that the president will return to Argentina this afternoon. Next Friday, he must depart for Madrid, where he will participate in the Economic Forum held in the capital city.
