Argentina's Economy Minister Axel Kicillof arrived in New York on Wednesday (June 25) to discuss his country's debt situation with the United Nations.

Kicillof is due to speak at the U.N. regarding Argentina's ongoing legal battle with hedge funds who did not take part in the country's two debt restructurings following a 2001-2002 default.

Argentina's U.N. Ambassador Maria Cristina Perceval, who was among those waiting for Kicillof's arrival at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York, said the minister would speak to the media after his U.N. address.

Kicillof will also meet with lawyers for the Argentine government while in New York, a government source in Buenos Aires told Reuters on Tuesday, but it is unclear if he will also meet with holdout investors.
