President Milei leads a delegation expected to reach roughly 400 to Paris for “Argentina Week” from September 30 to October 2, the government’s second major investor push this year, after New York in March.
The Argentine delegation is expected to include Economy Minister Luis Caputo, Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno, Deregulation Minister Federico Sturzenegger, Health Minister Mario Lugones and Central Bank President Santiago Bausili. Organizers say about 14 provincial governors will also attend, a number they describe as unprecedented for this kind of trip. Confirmed Argentine business leaders include YPF’s Horacio Marín, Globant’s Martín Migoya, Cresud’s Alejandro Elsztain and Adecoagro’s Mariano Bosch.
On the European side, organizers list attendance from executives at Total, Eni, Glencore, Rio Tinto, Santander and Louis Dreyfus Company, along with OECD Secretary-General Mathias Cormann and International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Grossi.
Organizers are promoting the trip as centered on energy, mining, agroindustry, infrastructure and technology, and have pledged “important announcements,” though no specific investment deals have been disclosed ahead of the event.
The three-day agenda runs from a welcome reception at the Argentine Embassy on September 30 to a plenary session at the OECD’s Château de la Muette on October 1, featuring Milei and Caputo plus sector panels, followed by a reception at the Élysée Palace with French President Emmanuel Macron. October 2 brings sector-specific roundtables at the International Energy Agency and other venues, and a closing ceremony where the Paris Economic Forum plans to recognize Milei.
