China and Argentina seal key deals

Out of a wheelchair and sporting a red outfit, Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner was back on two feet in Beijing on Wednesday for a meeting with President Xi Jinping.

Kirchner, 61, has been recovering since breaking her ankle on Dec 26, forcing her to cancel several overseas trips. Xi wished her a full recovery during her visit to China.

Both countries signed 15 agreements, covering areas including finance, nuclear energy, space technology, telecommunications and culture.
