DIPLOMATS TO INDIA EMPIRE
Select The Country:
ARGENTINA
DECEMBER 2024
The two countries have enjoyed a very friendly relationship for 75 years based on mutual trust and mutual benefit. India has supported Argentina in the very strategic question of the Islas Malvinas, which is a dispute that we have with the British, with the UK. So we thank India for their longstanding support to the claim of Argentina to be able to exercise its full sovereignty over those territories that belong to Argentina, but were occupied by a foreign force for so many years.
The other highlight of our relationship is trade. Trade between the two countries is around US$ 4.5 - 5 billion. Besides, both the countries are based on the idea of democracy. We share common values in spite of the huge distance between the two countries and the different cultures we follow — we belong to Latin American culture and you are an Asian nation. But at the same time, we share the values of democracy, of limited government, respect for human dignity, and division of power. And we are secular states and the idea that power has to be limited. We are part of G20, we share a number of multilateral forums in which we have worked together for many years.

"A new tenure for Narendra Modi as Prime Minister represents an opportunity for Argentina to continue engaging with India with the same strength and strategic vision that we enjoy, particularly since the State Visit of our President Mauricio Macri last February. We are sure that his renewed leadership will give both of our countries a deeper involvement and understanding between each other, and that the bilateral ties will continue to develop in a consistent manner, with a focus in areas such as food security, energy security and technology exchanges. We hope that with this premise, and as countries that share the same core values (democracy being one of them) Argentina and India can tackle together the challenges that lay ahead"
-H.E. Mr. Daniel Chuburu, Ambassador of Argentina to India

Our government has established a clear roadmap for the relationship with India. It is our goal to strengthen our bilateral ties and take them a step further, achieving a Strategic Dialogue based on mutually beneficial cooperation with high added value in the fields of agro technology and food security, mining, science, energy security, peaceful uses of nuclear energy and of outer space, defense and security, and including off course cultural exchanges and education. In an uncertain, rapidly changing and complex world, Argentina and India, who share the same democratic values, must be strategic partners. Next year we will celebrate 70 years of bilateral relationship, and we have a great opportunity to achieve these goals.

In the framework of public-private coordination, we are able to achieve agricultural development in fields like machinery, molecular biology and genetic engineering, in order to generate an efficient integration in the global value chains. Taking this into account, there is a great potential to strengthen the bilateral commercial relationship with India not only in terms of trade, but also in terms of technical cooperation and investments. With regard to energy, nonconventional resources located at "Vaca Muerta" will be key in the near future for India´s energy security. Also, in Argentina there are great investment opportunities for copper and lithium, and we are ready to provide these strategic assets to India.
