Several official events were held worldwide at the Argentine Embassies, Consulates and Representations abroad to commemorate the Bicentenary of Argentina's independence. 

At 162 Argentine Representations located in all five continents, the diplomatic authorities and administrative staff, along with groups of Argentine nationals who reside in each of the foreign cities, celebrated with great excitement the 200th anniversary of independence of their homeland. In many places, a series of cultural activities were organized —with great participation from the public—, which contributed to extending the celebrations.
