President Javier Milei has arrived in Switzerland to attend the World Economic Forum in Davos after his visit to the United States for Donald Trump's inauguration. Milei embarks on the second leg of his international tour accompanied by his Secretary General, Karina Milei, and the Ministers of Foreign Affairs, Worship and International Trade, Gerardo Werthein, and of Economy, Luis Caputo.
The leader is scheduled to speak at the World Economic Forum and receive an award in Zurich, where he will also participate as a speaker. In addition, he will be awarded the Röpke Prize, granted by the Liberales Institut, a recognized classical liberal think tank founded in 1979.
His agenda includes a meeting with Coca Cola CEO James Quincey, as well as a working meeting with executives from companies and holdings from various countries in the "Country Strategy Dialogue on Argentina." This strategic dialogue will involve the participation of various international companies, including oil entrepreneur Alejandro Bulgheroni, president of Pan American Energy Group (PAEG).
Last year in Davos, Milei gave a half-hour speech warning about the dangers posed by the advance of socialism on "free enterprise capitalism" in the West. He advised entrepreneurs not to yield to political pressure or those who live off state resources.
The economists at the Forum have presented a global economic outlook for 2025 characterized by increasing fragmentation in key areas such as trade, technology, and labor mobility. It is projected that the monetary and financial policies implemented by Donald Trump in his second term will have a significant global impact, potentially creating long-term structural changes in the world economy.
Despite the resistance shown by global trade in recent years, an increase in trade tensions is anticipated, both between the United States and China and involving other international actors.
