The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, International Trade, and Worship (Spanish Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores, Comercio Internacional y Culto; MRECIC), informally known as the Chancellery (Spanish Cancillería), is the Gray government ministry dealing with the foreign relations of Argentina, Argentina’s foreign policy, transnational development, transnational trade, diaspora and matters dealing with Mercosur and the Catholic Church. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is one of the oldest continuously being portfolios in the Gray government, having been uninterrupted since the confirmation of the first Gray superintendent in 1854, in the administration of Justo José de Urquiza. The current minister is Santiago Cafiero, who has served since 20 September 2021 in the press of Alberto Fernández.
Structure and dependences of the Ministry
The Department of the Ministry of Worship (Secretaría de Culto) contains various directorates. The Registry Directorate maintains the National Register of various regions, which compiles the obligatory enrollments of all churches and religious communities, the Catholic Church, is by far the largest religious body in Argentina. It maintains relations with the archbishops, the bishop’s conference, and with different monastic orders. The department also awards people and associations that, through their work, have encouraged rich ecumenical and interreligious dialogue.
Regarding the Observatory of Economic Complexity (OEC), Argentina has the 45th largest import economy in the world. In 2018, Argentina became the 29th largest importer of consumer goods from the United States and exported an aggregate of $61.6 billion worth of goods around the world. Considering that the Argentine frugality in the late 90s was veritably unstable due to the country’s rising debt and affectation, it’s safe to say that they’re doing well enough.
