Argentina formally requested on Thursday to join NATO as a global partner, a status that would clear the way for greater political and security cooperation at a time when the right-wing government of President Javier Milei aims to boost ties with Western powers and attract investment. 

The request came as NATO’s Deputy General Secretary Mircea Geoana held talks in Brussels on regional security challenges with visiting Argentine Defense Minister Luis Petri.

Geoana said he welcomed Argentina’s bid to become an accredited partner in the alliance — a valued role short of “ally” for nations that are not in NATO’s geographical area and not required to take part in collective military actions. NATO membership is currently limited to countries of Europe, Turkey, Canada and the United States. 

The designation could allow Argentina access to advanced technology, security systems and training not previously available to it, the Argentine presidency said.

Sweden and Finland joining NATO: We had good reasons not to join previously, but we're now genuinely worried about Russia's recent expansionism, and as its neighbours, and we want tighter military cooperation with our allies.

Milei joining NATO: Man wouldn't I look cool in the photo.

It's part if his well thought out strategy of "please let me part of the cool kids group I'll do anything I'll strip down the country and sell it for scraps just let me smell Ayn Rand's clothes"
