Argentina and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) They agreed that tomorrow, Monday, the South American country’s access to the international organization will be signed, the future Minister of Foreign Affairs, Diana Mondino, announced today.
Mondino announced the news this Sunday, before the inauguration ceremony of President Javier Milei, at an event held at the San Martín Palace (headquarters of the Foreign Ministry), together with the director of Global Relations and Cooperation of the OECD, Andreas Schaal. .
“This morning we agreed with Mr. Andreas Schaal that tomorrow Argentina signs accession to the OECD,” Mondino assured at the end of the event, as can be seen in a video spread on social networks by some attendees at the event.
Although Mondino has not yet officially assumed her position as head of Argentine diplomacy, this economist, who is part of the closest circle of the new president, Javier Milei, is expected to succeed Santiago Cafiero in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Good proof of this is that Mondino has been – along with Milei and his vice president, Victoria Villarruel – the only Argentine authorities present at the greeting at the Casa Rosada to the foreign delegations.
Furthermore, in recent days, Mondino has been anticipating the axes of the Argentine foreign policy of the new Government.
The replacement of China and Brazil as main international allies by the United States and Israel announced by Javier Milei during the electoral campaign is now joined by growing doubt about joining the BRICS emerging economies forum.
Argentina and five other countries agreed in September of this year to join the group, which currently comprises Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, and which has transcended its initial economic nature to form a true alternative geopolitical bloc to the United States and Europe.
The OECD, based in Paris, was founded in 1961 and has the function of coordinating the social and economic policies of its member states. It currently has 38 member states.
In Latin America, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica and Mexico are already members. In addition, Argentina, Peru and Brazil have been evaluated by the OECD to become part of the so-called “rich country club”.
In June of last year, OECD officials estimated that Argentina’s candidacy had not registered any progress in the previous months.
