Argentina Elige: A Conversation with Gustavo Mart铆nez Pandiani, Senior Adviser to Presidential Candidate Sergio Massa
On Sunday, November 19, Finance Minister Sergio Massa will compete against libertarian lawmaker Javier Milei in the second round of Argentina鈥檚 presidential election. While the primary concern for voters is the economy, foreign policy has emerged as a key campaign issue, given the significant differences between the candidates regarding Argentina鈥檚 international relationships.
Massa has adopted a traditional foreign policy platform, promoting continued strong ties to both the United States and China, and signaling a commitment to the Mercosur trade bloc. Massa has strong ties in Washington and New York City and experience negotiating with the International Monetary Fund. He has sharply criticized Milei鈥檚 proposed diplomatic distancing from China and Brazil, warning of the high costs for Argentina鈥檚 economy.
To gain a deeper understanding of Massa鈥檚 foreign policy priorities, please join the 乐鱼 体育鈥檚 Latin America Program on Wednesday, November 15, 2023, from 10 am to 11 am ET for a virtual dialogue with Gustavo Mart铆nez Pandiani, Massa鈥檚 senior foreign policy adviser and Argentina鈥檚 ambassador to Switzerland.
This event is part of the Latin America Program鈥檚 鈥淎rgentina Elige鈥 series of conversations with senior advisers to major candidates in Argentina鈥檚 election. It is co-sponsored by McLarty Associates.
