Argentine President Javier Milei announced a busy international schedule for the coming weeks, with trips to Brazil, Peru, Colombia and Ecuador, presented as part of an outward-looking strategy to attract trade and investment.

The itinerary's most notable element is a gesture toward Brazil's opposition seen as likely to irritate President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's government, potentially straining ties between the two neighbours.

Milei's economic policies continue to draw interest from international investors, even as his relations with some regional leaders remain tense. Analysts say the tour can be read as an effort to strengthen Argentina's regional standing.
