Milei held a bilateral meeting with his Ecuadorian counterpart, Daniel Noboa, at the Carondelet Palace, in the first official visit by an Argentine president to Quito in nearly two decades
Argentine President Javier Milei is working to convene a summit of right-wing leaders from across the Americas outside existing multilateral organizations, though no date has been set. The initiative comes amid a series of trips that took him this week to Ecuador and Colombia.
Milei held a bilateral meeting on Thursday with his Ecuadorian counterpart, Daniel Noboa, at the Carondelet Palace, in the first official visit by an Argentine president to Quito in nearly two decades. The two signed six cooperation instruments: an automotive trade protocol, agreements on air connectivity and tourism, an extradition treaty, cooperation on peaceful uses of nuclear energy, cyberdefense, and a joint declaration against illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, providing for information sharing and technical coordination.
The extradition treaty replaces the 1933 Montevideo Convention in the bilateral relationship and must complete domestic approval procedures before taking effect. It will not apply to cases already under way. The governments also agreed to prepare a bilateral cooperation program for 2027-2029.
