Milei Postpones Bolivia Visit Due to US Schedule

The planned visit of Argentine President Javier Milei to Tarija, Bolivia, has been indefinitely postponed due to a scheduling conflict with his engagements in the United States. This news comes as a disappointment for Bolivian officials who were anticipating the high-profile meeting.

“

The Argentine president will not come to Tarija to meet with his counterpart from the country, Rodrigo Paz, and participate in the events of the departmental anniversary.

Bolivian Vice-Chancellor Carlos Paz stated that while the visit could not materialize as scheduled for April 15th, there is a strong possibility of rescheduling. He emphasized that the postponement is solely due to Milei's pre-arranged meetings in the US, highlighting the Argentine president's busy agenda. Paz expressed hope that a new date could be found in the near future, contingent on Milei's availability.

There was a great possibility that the Argentine president would arrive, and due to an agenda issue, it could not be finalized because he has meetings in the United States.

President Milei's trip to the United States includes participation in the AmCham Summit, organized by the Chamber of Commerce of the United States in Argentina. This visit underscores the importance of bilateral relations and economic ties between Argentina and the US. Vice-Chancellor Paz also noted that discussions regarding energy, education, trade, and migration are ongoing between Bolivia and Argentina, with a potential visit to Argentina planned for May to continue these dialogues.

Everything was planned for him to be here on April 15, and unfortunately, President Javier Milei had agreed-upon meetings, but in the short term, it could happen and it will depend a lot on his agenda.
