President Javier Milei has a particularly busy day on June 30, 2026. In the morning, he will participate in the Mercosur Heads of State Summit in Asunción, Paraguay. Mercosur is South America's leading economic integration bloc, founded in 1991, comprising Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Bolivia.
At 5:30 PM, Milei will preside over the swearing-in ceremony of Diego Santilli as the new Chief of Cabinet of Ministers at the Salón Blanco of Casa Rosada (the Argentine government's headquarters, equivalent to the White House). Santilli replaces Manuel Adorni, who resigned on June 27, 2026, following a scandal involving a 775% increase in his personal wealth declarations.
In the evening, Milei will host the Latin American Caucus Presidents Conference, a three-day event at the Alvear Icon Hotel in Puerto Madero, Buenos Aires' most exclusive waterfront district, known for its modern architecture and high-end dining scene.
The conference's central theme is the expansion of the Isaac Accords, a diplomatic initiative inspired by the Abraham Accords of 2020, which were historic normalization agreements negotiated by the United States between Israel and four Arab nations (United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco, and Sudan).
This new platform aims to provide "an innovative and practical framework to strengthen economic cooperation, technological innovation, security collaboration, and shared prosperity between Israel and Latin America", according to event organizers.
The name references the biblical figure Isaac, continuing the symbolism of the Abraham Accords. In the Judeo-Christian tradition, Isaac is the son of Abraham, representing continuity and the next generation of peace-building efforts.

The event will feature Flávio Bolsonaro, Brazil's presidential candidate and sitting senator, who met with Milei in Buenos Aires on June 29, 2026. Flávio is the son of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro and has maintained political positions aligned with his father's conservative policies.
Flávio Bolsonaro's participation gains special relevance in the context of Brazil's presidential elections scheduled for October 2026, where he is expected to compete for the highest office in South America's largest nation.
This conference emerged from a joint initiative launched by Argentine and Israeli leaders during Milei's visit to Jerusalem in early 2026. The relationship between both countries has strengthened significantly during Milei's administration, with multiple diplomatic gestures and bilateral cooperation agreements.
Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno, recently appointed, faces one of his first major international challenges at this conference as head of Argentina's diplomatic corps.
