Economy Minister Luis Caputo received representatives of the Cámara Argentino-China on Tuesday at the Palacio de Hacienda. The parties discussed opportunities to expand Argentine exports to China and reduce the bilateral trade deficit.
Caputo met with officials from the entity to review pending sanitary protocols and tariff improvements that would benefit agro-export sectors. The companies proposed an Argentina Day in China and requested a ministerial or presidential visit to the Asian country in the coming months. The minister responded with good disposition and committed to evaluating the trip. He also mentioned the potential of the RIGI and the upcoming Súper RIGI to attract Chinese investments in mining and energy. In parallel, Central Bank President Santiago Bausili traveled to Beijing to renew the currency swap that expires on August 6. Caputo highlighted on social media the opportunities in meat, legumes, cereals and oilseeds.
