ARGENTINA: Waiting for the post-Kirchner era
Brazil’s new foreign minister, Mauro Vieira travelled back to Buenos Aires this week, where he used to work as ambassador (2004-2010). Relations between Brazil and Argentina are going through a delicate moment, with Brazilian exports to Argentina having fallen sharply in 2014. Brazil is also worried about the potential impact on Brazilian exports of the recent trade deals President Cristina Fernández signed with China. Vieira met with some leading members of the Argentine business community, who share his fears. But according to local media reports, Vieira’s principle focus was on Fernández’s possible successors.
