Javier Milei will travel this Monday, September 21, to New York to take part in the 81st United Nations General Assembly, on a visit that will also include meetings with business leaders, economists and figures from the Jewish community. According to Radio Mitre and BAE Negocios, it will be his 18th trip to the United States since he took office as President in December 2023.
According to what both outlets reported, the president will depart from Buenos Aires during the night and arrive in New York on Tuesday morning. His first official activity will be a speech at Yeshiva Darchei Torah, where he will also receive the Ohev Yisrael award, a distinction linked to his support for Israel and his relationship with the Jewish community.
That same day, he is scheduled to meet with Roberto Salinas and economist Xavier Sala-i-Martin, a professor at Columbia University and a specialist in economic growth. BAE Negocios specified that Salinas is head of Mexico Business Forum and director of Atlas Network for Latin America.
The central event of the trip will be on Wednesday, September 23, when Milei will speak before the UN General Assembly. There he will outline the guidelines of Argentina’s foreign policy. Among the planned topics is the sovereignty claim over the Malvinas Islands, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands. BAE Negocios added that in June the United Nations Special Committee on Decolonization approved a new resolution calling on Argentina and the United Kingdom to resume negotiations for a peaceful and definitive solution to the dispute.
After his speech, the President will take part in the Western Values, Economic Freedom & Strategic Security conference and then will hold a meeting with business leaders linked to Americas Society/Consejo de las Américas, headed by Susan Segal. The day will end with a meeting with Rabbi Simón Jacobson.
On Thursday, September 24, Milei is scheduled to give a speech at The Economic Club of New York. Later he will head back to Argentina, with arrival expected on Friday morning, September 25.
Regarding a possible meeting with Donald Trump, both outlets said it does not appear on the official agenda. Radio Mitre indicated that the government said new activities or meetings could still be added during the visit. BAE Negocios added that Argentine diplomacy is working to make that bilateral meeting happen during the stay in New York.
