Key areas for boosting Sino-Argentine ties

The historical link between China and Argentina is much older than their diplomatic relations. But despite the development of commercial and cultural exchanges after the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, bilateral political relations were not realized.

These backgrounds created the ideal environment for the establishment of formal diplomatic China-Argentina relations on Feb 19, 1972. Argentina was one of the first countries in Latin America to strengthen diplomatic ties with China shortly after the People's Republic of China regained its rightful seat in the United Nations.

It is worth mentioning that every single Argentine president elected since the reinstatement of democracy in the country has visited China. Gradually, through the numerous delegations led by different heads of state, as well as the visits of Chinese leaders to our country, the close relationship we are witnessing today was built.
