Russia, Argentina To
Expand Economic Links
Moscow - The seminar
Trade, Investments and
Business Opportunities
taking place Monday in
this capital will
increase economic links
between Russia and
Argentina, a diplomatic
source from the South
American country
reported.
Underway in the Metropol
Hotel's Conference Hall,
the forum was organized
on the occasion of the
visit to Moscow of
Argentinean President
Cristina Fernandez, also
attended by nearly 100
business people from
that country, ambassador
Leopoldo Bravo said.
The stateswoman would
arrive in today to
attend the closing
dinner of that
managerial meeting, but
she postponed her
arrival until Tuesday,
due to the funeral rites
of Russian Orthodox
Patriarch Alexei II,
deceased on December 5,
Argentinean mass media
informed.
Fernandez' agenda
Tuesday will include
meeting with his peer
Dmitri Medvedev and
Prime Minister Vladimir
Putin, as well as
attending the signing of
a package of document at
the Kremlin.
Bravo told that as a
result of the
Argentinean
stateswoman's visit, a
joint declaration will
be issued "in which we
will reaffirm the
strategic relation."
The inter-state
agreements will include
the collaboration
between the Argentinean
Mining Geological
Institute and the
Russian Research Center
for the Geological
Prospecting of Basic
Metals, he stated.
The parties will also
ink a memorandum
relative to security of
vegetable-origin
products supplied by
Buenos Aires to Moscow.
"This will allow
agreeing on pesticides
and agro-chemical
products," the diplomat
stressed.
Argentina is a great
producer and supplier of
foods worldwide, while
Russia is one of the
greater purchasers,
Bravo said.
