Buenos Aires, June 14 (RHC)-- Argentina has named Jorge Faurie as its new minister of foreign affairs, as he pledged to provide "continuity" in his management of the role. Faurie, who had been ambassador to France, was sworn in at the presidential palace by President Mauricio Macri, in the presence of Susana Malcorra who stepped down from the role in May for personal reasons.
According to the president, Faurie will have "a task doubly or triply more complicated since he will not only replace a minister like Malcorra, but we are also at a time when we will need concrete successes... such as the integration with the OECD and Mercosur and negotiations with the EU" for a free-trade agreement.
