San Juan Governor Marcelo Orrego has focused on regional economic development and international cooperation, particularly within the mining sector.

In August 2026, Orrego participated in a national development forum in Buenos Aires, where he advocated for fiscal stability and legal security to attract private capital. He specifically noted the positive impact of the Large Investment Incentive Regime (RIGI) on strategic sectors like mining.

Following these discussions, Orrego met with Andreas Vollmer, the Honorary Consul of Germany for the Nuevo Cuyo region, to discuss bilateral cooperation. The meeting highlighted German interest in San Juan’s mining industry, including potential proposals for a mining train.
