Argentine, China Reaffirm Close Trade And Political Links

BUENOS AIRES, April 25 (BERNAMA-NNN-MERCOPRESS) -- Argentine President Cristina Fernandez received Wednesday China's Foreign Ministry Wang Yi and signed several trade agreements, including aerospace infrastructure at the Government House here.

During the meeting, the president was accompanied by Cabinet Chief Jorge Capitanich, Economy Minister Axel Kicillof, Federal Planning Minister Carlos Julio De Vido and Foreign Minister Hector Timerman, with whom Wang Yi had a previous meeting.

Earlier in the day Wang Yi visited his peer Hector Timerman at the San Martin palace, and Yi confirmed the President of China, Xi Jinping, will be visiting Argentina during a tour of Latin America, scheduled for July.

"We are working to make the visit a success", said Timerman during a press conference alongside Wang Yi. "The visit will take our strategic relationship to a higher level", added the Chinese minister.
