Through his social media accounts, Javier Milei confirmed that he will attend the World Economic Forum in 2026, marking his first international trip of the year. After drawing significant attention during the previous two editions—largely due to his controversial speeches—the event once again represents an opportunity for Argentina to strengthen its international profile and seek to attract investment.
The 2026 World Economic Forum will be held from January 19 to 23 in Klosters-Serneus, Switzerland. A delegation led by the Argentine president, together with members of his economic team, is expected to carry out an extensive agenda of bilateral meetings and business forums. Each year, the event brings together around 3,000 political leaders, business executives, and diplomats from around the world.
The theme of the 2026 edition is framed around a “spirit of dialogue.” Forum organizers have said the program will be structured around five key global challenges, emphasizing dialogue and public-private cooperation, with the participation of all relevant stakeholders, as essential drivers of progress.
Javier Milei’s participation at Davos
Milei’s recent appearances at Davos have been marked by controversy, particularly for remarks that went beyond economic issues and reaffirmed his liberal-libertarian ideology. The strongest backlash stemmed from his criticism of sexual diversity, feminism, and gender perspectives—topics he grouped under what he called the “woke agenda.” Those comments triggered, in February 2025, a large-scale Federal LGBTQI+ Anti-Fascist and Anti-Racist Pride March in Argentina.
Despite the controversies, the president aims to further consolidate his position as a leading voice of economic liberalism in the region, at a time when governments aligned with similar views are gaining influence. Milei has pointed to recent political shifts in neighboring countries and counts regional allies such as Santiago Peña of Paraguay and Daniel Noboa of Ecuador.
Looking ahead, Milei is expected to reaffirm Argentina’s geopolitical alignment with the United States and Israel, while seeking diplomatic engagement with ideologically aligned governments, including Italy under Giorgia Meloni and Hungary under Viktor Orbán. He is also expected to highlight the reform agenda his administration plans to pursue in Argentina over the coming year.
