The Undersecretary for Foreign Affairs, Massimo Dell’Utri, visited Argentina for institutional meetings, discussions with the Italian community and Italian-Argentine schools, and economic initiatives.
In the capital city, the Undersecretary met with his counterpart, María Lorena Capra, to review the main bilateral and multilateral issues, with particular attention to their respective countries’ candidacies in major international forums, against a backdrop of broadly shared views. In Buenos Aires, Undersecretary Dell’Utri also attended the IDOHE university fair promoting higher education and visited Tecpetrol’s operations centre, providing an opportunity to review the energy and mining projects being carried out by the company and the Techint Group in the country.
Undersecretary Dell’Utri also met with all Italian Consuls in Argentina, including to discuss preparations for the elections to renew the Committees of Italians Abroad (Com.It.Es.). “Voter registrations for the Com.It.Es. elections are rising sharply across all nine consular districts. This reflects the intensive work undertaken by our network to encourage voter participation and ensure that the new Committees are representative,” he stressed. During subsequent stops in Córdoba and Rosario, the Undersecretary met with the mayors and the Governor of Santa Fe, as well as representatives of Italy’s institutional, business and cultural system and the Italian community. He also visited the two Italian schools in Córdoba officially recognised by the Italian education system.
