They had the opportunity to talk with Malcorra and Prat Gay, who also instructed their respective teams to work with the private sector on the different topics discussed, with a view to streamlining trade and investments.
The visitors also presented their business projects and highlighted the brave policies adopted by the Argentine Government, as well as their decision to believe in Argentina. They further expressed their satisfaction at finding a new Argentina, which has friendly relations with the world and government officials who have an open-door policy and are willing to rapidly facilitate the inflow of investments.
