The Milei Government inaugurated Argentina Week in Paris after the resounding success in New York

The chancellor Pablo Quirno kicked off the Argentina Week in Paris, the new edition of the meeting promoted by the Government of Javier Milei to present business opportunities and attract foreign investments to Argentina.

The opening took place at the Argentine Embassy in France and brought together businesspeople, officials, and governors. Among the guests was the French Minister of Economy, Roland Lescure, who also held a meeting with the Minister of Economy, Luis Caputo. During his speech, the European official invited Argentine businesspeople to use Paris as a gateway to the European market.

The meeting serves as a prelude to the sessions that will take place at the OECD headquarters, where the participation of President Javier Milei, Caputo, and the head of the Central Bank, Santiago Bausili, is expected. The agenda will focus on key areas such as energy, mining, agriculture, technology, and artificial intelligence.

Argentina Week aims to bring together national and provincial authorities with Argentine businesspeople and executives from French and European companies to present the available commercial and investment opportunities in the country. The meeting features broad representation from the provinces: 13 governors and the vice governor of Córdoba participated in the launch, along with officials from the national Cabinet.

During the opening, the Argentine ambassador in France, Ian Sielecki, emphasized the goal of making the meeting an accelerator for Argentina's new international insertion. The diplomat also noted that the organization of the event was carried out with "zero pesos from the State".

The initiative comes after the edition held in New York in March, which brought together more than 400 investors and over a hundred CEOs and was accompanied by announcements and investment commitments of USD 16.150 billion, according to data released after that meeting.

In Paris, the Government is now targeting European capital. The agenda will include presentations from representatives of companies such as YPF, Pan American Energy, Pampa Energía, Globant, Adecoagro, and Cresud, in addition to meetings with potential international investors.

Quirno anticipated during the launch that he expects the working sessions to result in new investment announcements and highlighted the presence of Argentine governors in the French capital. The activity will continue with presentations at the OECD and the participation of Milei, who will also hold a bilateral meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron.
