President Alberto Fernández will meet this Wednesday in Berlin with the chancellor of that country, Olaf Scholz, in the first meeting they will hold since the Social Democratic leader replaced Angela Merkel as head of the German government months ago.
On the second day of his European tour, Fernández and his entourage will depart from Madrid at 9 (local time, 4 Argentine time) on the special Aerolineas Argentinas flight that will take them to the Berlin-Brandenburg Willy Brandt airport, where they will arrive three hours later.
At 2:30 p.m. (local time, 9:00 a.m. Argentine time) will be the meeting with Scholz and an hour later there will be statements to the press by both leaders.
With Scholz it will be the first official meeting after his assumption in December of last year, after 16 years in power of Merkel, although both met informally during the meeting they had at the last G20 summit.
“We must continue to strengthen the bilateral relationship between Argentina and Germany. We must work together in favor of a more equal world,” the President wrote on Twitter when the German chancellor took office.
As he did this Tuesday with the Spanish Pedro Sánchez and will do it on Friday in Paris with Emmanuel Macron, Fernández seeks to hear first-hand from European leaders about the impact that the war in Ukraine is leaving in those countries in economic and commercial matters.
Within this framework, it will once again offer Argentina’s cooperation to become a stable supplier of food and energy for the region.
