MOSCOW, November 21. /TASS/. Argentinian Foreign Minister Santiago Cafiero will take part in an online BRICS summit on the Middle East due on November 21, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister and Russia’s BRICS Sherpa Sergey Ryabkov told TASS.

"Argentina will be represented. The foreign minister [Santiago Cafiero] will take part. At least, we have such information," he said.

On November 19, Argentina held runoff presidential election. Javier Milei, who leads the Libertarian Party, affiliated with the right-wing Freedom Advances alliance, outperformed Economy Minister Sergio Massa.

He has repeatedly stated that he does not intend to develop interstate relations with Brazil, China and Russia because of his disagreement with the policies of these states. At the same time, he stated that he would not prevent private companies from doing business with these countries. He considers Israel and the US as Argentina's priority allies. Milei's foreign policy adviser Diana Mondino said in late October that the Freedom Advances alliance saw no point in Argentina's participation in BRICS, where the country was admitted following the group's August summit.
