In this context, the synergy between Buenos Aires and Santiago appears as a link that the libertarian administration seeks to deepen. After winning the elections against Jeannette Jara, the Communist Party candidate, Kast had already traveled to Buenos Aires to meet with Milei. The meeting was aimed at intensifying the bilateral relationship and making clear an ideological affinity that goes beyond the strictly diplomatic agenda. The ceremony was also attended by the now former President Gabriel Boric, who handed over power amidst a major political shift for the Chilean and South American scene. Milei's presence at Kast's inauguration was not just a mere protocolary gesture. That relationship was once again exposed this Wednesday when both shared greetings, photographs, and a cordial contact within a ceremony observed with attention throughout the region. According to reports, the Argentine president had to postpone a bilateral meeting scheduled for the morning, although he followed the inauguration closely and was active during the official event, where he exchanged greetings with several attendees. However, Milei's international agenda does not stop: next Friday he will have to travel to Madrid, where he will participate in an economic forum in the Spanish capital. Attending Kast's inauguration confirms that the Argentine government not only seeks to maintain a strong international presence but also to build political affinities with ideologically close administrations. In this sense, the stop in Valparaíso was much more than a diplomatic formality: it functioned as a political photo of the era, with two leaders who seek to show themselves as part of the same regional current.
