Zero-Visa Between Russia and Argentina

Buenos Aires - Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov signed on Wednesday an agreement with Argentina on mutual zero-visa travel.

The document was already signed by Argentine Foreign Minister Jorge Taiana in Buenos Aires on March 11, Argentine Ambassador in the Russian Federation Leopoldo Bravo told Prensa Latina.

Bravo attended the Russian signing ceremony accompanied by other diplomats. Also present were local and foreign journalists.

This event is important from the political point of view, as we hope to turn links between Argentina and Russia into a strategic relation, as agreed by Presidents Cristina Fernandez and Dmitri Medvedev during the former's visit to Russia on December 2008, he added.




People hold banners with anti-violent crimes slogans during a rally in Buenos Aires, March 18, 2009. Some 8,000 citizens gathered at downtown Buenos Aires Wednesday to call for the government to take actions in striking the violent crimes and ensure the public security.
