Argentina’s President Javier Milei has announced that current Finance Secretary Pablo Quirno will be the new foreign minister, effective 27 October, replacing Gerardo Werthein, who resigned from his position on 20 October. Werthein’s resignation is the second departure from the role during President Milei’s two-year government. Quirno is a close ally of Economy Minister Luis Caputo, and his appointment as Finance Secretary signals a focus on economic diplomacy, with Quirno tasked with serving as the link between the Economy and Foreign Ministries. This move is likely to empower the fiscal faction within the government and underscores that foreign policy will likely be geared toward achieving President Milei’s liberal economic reforms.
