Modi, the first Indian premier to make a bilateral visit to Argentina in 57 years, was given a ceremonial welcome before holding talks with Milei that extended to informal discussions over lunch. Argentina was the third destination in Modi’s five-nation tour that will also take him to Brazil and Namibia.

The two leaders discussed the need to diversify and expand bilateral trade, which increased by 33% in 2024 to $5.23 billion, making India the fifth largest trade partner for Argentina. Argentina is one of the main suppliers of soyabean and sunflower oil to India and New Delhi sees the South American nation as a prime source for rare earth minerals such as lithium.
