History

President Cristina Kirchner with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and President Pratibha Patil.

Rabindranath Tagore visited Argentina in 1924. He stayed there for two months as the guest of Victoria Ocampo. Tagore wrote a series of poems under the title "Purabi" about his stay in Argentina.[1] Victoria Ocampo was awarded an honorary doctorate by the Viswa Bharati University in 1968.[2]

India opened a Trade Commission in Buenos Aires in 1943. This was converted into an embassy on 3 February 1949. Argentina had established a consulate in Calcutta in the 1920s. In 1950, it was transferred to Delhi as an embassy. Argentina opened a Consulate General in Mumbai in April 2009. [2]

Argentine President Arturo Frondizi visited India in December 1961, the first state visit by an Argentine President. President Reynaldo Bignone visited in 1983 to attend the NAM summit. President Raul Alfonsin was the chief guest on Republic Day in 1985. President Carlos Menem visited India in March 1994 and President Cristina Kirchner in October 2009.[2]

In 1968, Indira Gandhi became the first Indian Prime Minister to visit Argentina.[3][4] President Zail Singh visited the country in April 1984. P. V. Narasimha Rao visited Argentina in 1995 to attend the G-15 Summit.[2]

Several India companies such as TCS, Wipro, CRISIL, Bajaj, Cellent, United Phosphorus Ltd (UPL), Synthesis Quimica, Glenmar and Godrej operate in Argentina. They employ 7000 Argentines as of 2013. ONGC signed a MoU with ENARSA for possible joint ventures in Argentina for oil exploration.[2]

Argentine companies operating in India include IMPSA, Biosidus and BAGO.[2]

Indian investment in the country totaled $930 million in 2013. Argentine investment in India totalled $120 million in 2013.[2]

Trade

A preferential trade agreement between India and Mercosur (of which Argentina is a member) came into operation in 2009.[5]

Bilateral trade between India and Argentina was worth US$1.838 billion in 2012. India exported US$574 million worth of goods to Argentina.

By 2016, bilateral trade between India and Argentina was worth US$2.9 billion. India exported US$700 million worth of goods to Argentina and Argentina exported US$2.2 billion worth of goods to India.[6]

Cultural relations

Sports

The Indian Football Academy collaborated with Argentine football club River Plate for training and exchanges. Argentine football legend Diego Maradona visited India in October 2009. Several Argentine players play in the Indian Super League.[2]

There is a huge fan following for Argentina's national football team in Indian states of Kerala and West Bengal.[9][10]

Areas of Untapped Potential

Argentina and India both boast vibrant domestic film industries that produce high-quality movies. However, most Argentine films only reach Indian audiences through film festivals. India's diverse movie sectors, including Bollywood, Tamil, Malayalam, and Bengali cinema, hold great potential for capturing a significant market and viewership in Argentina. Leveraging cinema as a soft power tool is an opportunity that both nations have yet to fully explore.

Similarly, there needs to be mutual promotion of tourism between the two countries. Both nations offer complementary attractions and experiences from a tourism perspective. Currently, the lack of direct flight connectivity between Latin America and South Asia poses a major roadblock to enhancing people-to-people interactions, travel, and tourism.

Indian diaspora

An Indian stall in Buenos Aires in 2010.

As of 2013, about 200 Indian citizens (predominantly from the Sindhi community) reside in Buenos Aires, of which, half have lived there for over 30 years. Other Indian residents are employees of Indian and multinational corporations in Argentina. About 300 Punjabi Sikhs settled down in Salta province in the early and mid twentieth century. As of 2013, their current population numbers around 2000. They have become Argentine citizens and are mostly employed in retail and wholesale trade. There is a gurudwara in Rosario de la Frontera.[2]
