The Ecuadorian government’s program noted that Milei and Noboa will lay a floral offering at Independence Square in Quito, followed by a meeting at the Carondelet Palace.

Afterward, they will attend the signing of agreements between the two governments.

The Argentine delegation’s agenda includes a meeting with representatives of automotive cars in Ecuador and the participation of Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno in an economic forum.

The Ecuadorian Foreign Ministry announced that the activities will not be open to national or international media, only official press.

The visit comes a few days after Milei and Noboa met in Lima for the inauguration of Peruvian President Keiko Fujimori, and at a time when both governments are boosting closer political, economic, and security ties.

Both Milei and Noboa will attend the inauguration of Colombian President-elect Abelardo de la Espriella on Friday.

The Argentine president’s tour takes place amid diplomatic tensions with Brazil because of his repeated insults against President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
