Within the meeting between Bukele and Milei, topics such as energy, trade and security were officially discussed, but there was no press conference or official statement. The meeting between Vice President Villarruel and President Bukele extended beyond general diplomacy, focusing intensely on BTC and its integration into national financial systems.

“I really wanted to take advantage of these brief minutes to talk to you about Bitcoin, because it is something that interests me a lot, as well as the Volcano Bonds project,” Vice President Villarruel is heard stating in a brief video that emerged on X. Responding to this, President Bukele expressed enthusiasm: “With pleasure we can talk about Bitcoin and everything that is related to it.”
