"After a holiday break, Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa resumed his international agenda with an official visit to Switzerland, where he will participate in the 56th Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum . The president's presence in Davos marks the resumption of his diplomatic activities in a key setting for global political and economic dialogue, amidst a regional context marked by security challenges, economic slowdown, and the search for investment.
According to the official agenda released by the Executive branch, Noboa will concentrate his participation between January 20 and 22, 2026, with a combination of bilateral meetings, interventions in thematic forums, and encounters with leaders of multilateral organizations and the private sector. The central objective of the tour is to reposition Ecuador before international financial and political actors, as well as to present the government's narrative on macroeconomic stability, openness to investment, and security cooperation.
On Tuesday, January 20, the president is scheduled to begin his agenda with meetings with top executives from the corporate and financial sectors. These include meetings with representatives from Cargill and the International Finance Corporation (IFC) , the private sector arm of the World Bank Group. That same day, Noboa will participate in the panel “ Rebuilding Trust in Latin America ,” a forum that traditionally addresses institutional shortcomings, governance, and the relationship between the state, the market, and citizens in the region. The day will conclude with the official opening of the 2026 World Economic Forum.
Wednesday, January 21, is shaping up to be one of the busiest days of the tour. In the morning, the Ecuadorian president will hold meetings with executives from technology and financial companies, such as Palantir Technologies and Visa , as well as a meeting with the president of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), Ilan Goldfajn . He will also participate in a luncheon of global leaders from the World Economic Forum, focused on political dialogue in a fragmented international context.
That same day, Noboa has bilateral meetings scheduled with two heads of state: the president of Panama, José Raúl Mulino , and the president of Israel, Isaac Herzog . Both meetings carry political and strategic significance. In the case of Panama, the dialogue focuses on shared interests related to trade, regional logistics, and security cooperation. With Israel, the rapprochement takes place within a sensitive international context, marked by conflicts in the Middle East and debates on technological and defense cooperation.
Wednesday's agenda also includes meetings with executives from companies in the global extractive and financial sectors, such as BHP Group an
