Foreign media: Argentine President Mile confirmed that he will visit China in 2026. Despite the pressure from the United States to cut ties with China, Mile emphasized in an interview with "La Nación" that China is an extremely important business partner for Argentina. He advocated that Argentina should trade with all countries around the world and be welcoming to any trading partner.
This statement marks a shift in Mile's position towards China. During his 2023 campaign, he repeatedly criticized China and even threatened to terminate national-level cooperation. However, after taking office, Mile has become more pragmatic. At the end of 2024, he publicly praised China as a "very interesting business partner" and thanked China for agreeing to renew the $50 billion currency swap agreement, extending the period during which Argentina can use RMB liquidity until mid-2026.
