ARGENTINA: Macri sets foreign agenda on lightning visits
Argentina’s president-elect Mauricio Macri paid two foreign visits in the days before his investiture on 10 December. They revealed much about his foreign policy objectives, with trade the single most important priority. Macri visited Brasília for talks with President Dilma Rousseff before flying on to Santiago where he killed two birds with one stone by meeting both Chile’s President Michelle Bachelet and Uruguay’s President Tabaré Vázquez, who was on an official visit. Macri also broached the issue of Venezuela’s political travails but even this is indirectly related to trade; Macri fears that the credibility of the Southern Common Market (Mercosur) is undermined by Venezuela’s presence within the trade bloc.
