With the victory of the National Party, Argimon became Uruguay's first elected vice president, serving from March 1, 2020, to March 1, 2025.

The Foreign Minister highlighted that the new list of ambassadors included a balance of six men and six women, with eight career professionals and four political appointments. He celebrated the improved gender and African representation in the appointments, as previously announced on March 14.

The newly appointed ambassadors include José Luis Cancela (Costa Rica), Alejandra Acosta (El Salvador), Mario Silva Castro (Ethiopia), Patricia Benitez (Finland), Luis Iribarne (Greece), Alfredo Bogliaccini (Italy), Marcelo Blanco (Paraguay), Silvana Mones de Oca (Peru), Carolina Ache Batlle (Portugal), and Rosario Portell (Russia).
