The leaders will seek to strengthen bilateral relations between the European Union and Mercosur. They will also discuss the political and social conflict in Venezuela and recommend that the Bolivarian country hold presidential elections.
The president of the nation will receive his Spanish counterpart, Mariano Rajoy, on Tuesday (10.4.2018). The meeting will take place at the Casa Rosada and from the national government will seek to strengthen bilateral relations between the European Union and Mercosur.
Rajoy will visit the country for the first time, after Cambiemos won the presidential elections in 2015. Since then, the back-and-forth between the two leaders has been increasingly fluid. The Argentine president visited Madrid in February of last year, where he received strong criticism in the national congress from the Spanish indignados party (Podemos).
At the meeting to be held on Tuesday, they are not only expected to discuss bilateral relations between the two countries, but also the political and social conflict experienced in Venezuela, where both presidents have brought their questions and the Bolivarian country to international forums.
After the bilateral meeting, Macri and Rajoy will hold a press conference in the White Room, and then head to the Casa Rosada Museum to share lunch.
This is a visit of enormous economic importance (as well as political, institutional and cultural) because Spain is one of Argentina's main partners in the world.
