Within the framework of that official visit, India was able to order the expansion of the purchase of Argentine soybean meal to 550 thousand tons, which represents approximately US$220 million, and progress was made in a greater relationship between India and CELAC to strengthen the link, taking into account that Argentina has the Pro Tempore Presidency.

On that occasion, the Argentine foreign minister spoke to businessmen and local chambers about the investment potential offered by Argentina in sectors such as food, renewable energy, mining, energy, electromobility and the knowledge economy, among others, and visited the production plant of radioisotopes that INVAP built.
