MADRID (Reuters) - Spain appointed a new ambassador to Buenos Aires on Tuesday, five months after having withdrawn its envoy in a diplomatic dispute over Argentine President Javier Milei's derogatory comments about the wife of Spanish premier Pedro Sanchez.
Without directly referring to the incident, the foreign ministries of Spain and Argentina vowed in a joint statement to "strengthen our relationship so that it reaches the maximum level of trust and mutual respect in political and institutional terms that our people deserve".
