<h6><strong>The Diplomat</strong></h6> <strong>The diplomat Roberto Bosch has presented the Copies of his Letters of Credence as the new ambassador of Argentina to Spain,</strong> after the president of that country, Javier Mileí, decided to appoint him to the position to replace Ricardo Alfonsín. Bosch went last Wednesday to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, where he presented the Copies of his Letters of Credence to the introducer of ambassadors, <strong>María Sebastián de Erice.</strong> The new ambassador <strong>had been serving as chargé d'affaires ad interim in the diplomatic representation, since, in December of last year, Alfonsín returned to Buenos Aires,</strong> after Milei's victory in the Argentine elections and the replacement in the Casa Rosada. Roberto Bosch was minister counselor of the Embassy since April 2022, a circumstance that will facilitate his tasks in our country, among which will be <strong>the preparation of what will be Milei's first visit to Spain as president of Argentina.</strong> Milei plans to travel to Madrid <strong>on June 21</strong> to receive the 2024 Prize from the Juan de Mariana Institute, as announced last month by presidential spokesperson Manuel Adorni, although he will presumably be received by the King and will meet with the President of the Government, Pedro Sanchez. After several 'political' ambassadors, appointed by previous presidents, Argentina once again has a diplomat at the head of the Embassy, who is considered far from the Peronist approaches that governed the country in recent years. He was chief of staff of Mauricio Macri's former chancellor, Jorge Faurie; and <strong>he has also been ambassador to the Philippines.</strong> During his career he has been stationed several times in Brazil, and also in Geneva, and was director of Economic and Commercial Affairs of Mercosur at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Graduated in Political Science and Specialized in Social Doctrine of the Church at the Argentine Catholic University, Roberto Bosch will have before him <strong>the task of promoting bilateral relations</strong> between the two countries, something that may have its difficulties, given the coldness with which the Government of Pedro Sánchez received Milei's victory in the presidential elections. Despite everything, there have already been contacts between <strong>the Minister of Foreign Affairs, José Manuel Albares, and the Argentine Foreign Minister, Diana Mondino</strong>, first at the Davos Forum, and later during the Munich Security Conference. In this last meeting, Albares raised with his Argentine colleague the need for legal security for Spanish investments in the South American country.
