ARGENTINA: Macri ramps up bid to reshape foreign policy
President Mauricio Macri continued with one of his government’s main priorities of opening Argentina up to the world by formally presenting his foreign minister, Susana Malcorra, as a candidate for secretary general of the United Nations (UN) this week. Malcorra had served as chef de cabinet to the incumbent secretary general, Ban Ki-moon, before assuming her present position last December. She would be the first female secretary general since the UN was created in 1945. Interviews will take place in June with a view to making an appointment in September to replace Ban next January.
