Chile’s President-Elect José Antonio Kast to Meet Argentina’s Javier Milei in Buenos Aires on Tuesday

The non-state visit, his first post-election engagement, underscores a push for closer economic coordination.

Overview

  • Kast’s trip is set for Tuesday at midday, with the meeting expected in either the Casa Rosada or the Olivos presidential residence, according to reports from both capitals.
  • The encounter will not carry the character of a State visit, and both foreign ministries are finalizing logistics and location details.
  • Argentine officials describe the meeting as a chance to reinforce bilateral ties and outline a joint agenda covering political, economic and regional cooperation, though no detailed agenda has been released.
  • Kast won Sunday’s runoff decisively with more than 58% against Jeannette Jara and is scheduled to take office on March 11, 2026, while Milei publicly congratulated him on the victory.
  • Chilean outlet ADN reports Kast is sketching a rapid economic ‘shock’ program similar to Milei’s and may consult economist José Luis Daza, a development not yet confirmed by his team.
