Brazil, Argentina agree to deepen bilateral relations
Argentina and Brazil reached Friday an "ambitious" agreement to end differences that stressed their ties and drive the strategic cooperation between the two powers of South America.

According to the Brasilia Agreement signed by Brazilian Foreign Ministers Celso Amorim and his Argentine counterpart Rafael Bielsa, the two countries will deepen their cooperation.

The two foreign ministers said they will propose to their respective presidents "an ambitious program to deepen, up-date and speed up the bilateral relations that will culminate in the signing of the specific protocols for diverse issues on Nov. 30 of this year."

"Such protocols include strategic questions for both countries, in particular nuclear and space cooperation, productive integration, military cooperation, infrastructure, energy, and border cooperation," said a joint communique released by the Brazilian Foreign Ministry.

The agreement is the culmination of a series of goodwill gestures in the bilateral relations and came after a series of political and commercial differences between the two main trade partners of the Common Market of the South, which also groups Paraguay and Uruguay.
