Buenos Aires, November 18 (NA) -- The new Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno received today his counterpart from Uruguay, Mario Lubetkin, with whom they coincided on the need to 'strengthen cooperation between both countries.' The meeting took place at the San Martín Palace and was the first for the official under Javier Milei's government with a foreign minister since he took office on October 28. 'It allowed us to review the positive state of relations between the two countries,' he noted. 'I invited my new Argentine counterpart to visit Uruguay in the coming weeks to continue advancing on bilateral, regional, and global issues,' Lubetkin detailed on social media X. Following the resignation of Gerardo Werthein, Quirno was sworn in as the new Minister of Foreign Affairs, International Trade and Worship of the Nation on October 28, with the aim of deepening the pro-market conception of the management in the second stage of the government. 'It was his first meeting with a sitting chancellor since he took office a few weeks ago.'
