Likewise, she highlighted that more than 70 Japanese companies in the automotive, food and mining sectors already operate in Argentina.
Both Ministers highlighted the celebration in 2023 of the 125th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Argentina and Japan, emphasizing that Japan was the first State in Asia with which the Argentine Republic established diplomatic relations, and that our country has the 3rd Nikkei community (descendants of Japanese) in Latin America.
