'I was among the first ambassadors in India to convey this message,' he said, recalling Argentina's own experience with terrorism in the 1992 Israeli Embassy attack and the 1994 Jewish Community Centre bombing in Buenos Aires. 'Terrorism is unacceptable in any form. We have to take into account those states that promote or hide terrorism, and we are with India in this case,' he asserted. On economic cooperation, the envoy highlighted Argentina's role as India's top supplier of soybean oil and third-largest supplier of sunflower oil. He also revealed a proposal to export liquefied natural gas (LNG) to India and noted Indian investments in Argentina's lithium sector in the northern regions. 'We want to enhance that cooperation,' he said, signalling deeper collaboration in agriculture, energy, and critical minerals. The ambassador described a recent high-level visit from India as 'extremely important' for Argentina and the region. 'We are talking about the leader of a country that has become the 5th largest economy in the world and is going to become the 4th largest economy,' he said, underscoring India's growing global stature. As Argentina pushes for stronger economic and diplomatic ties, the envoy's remarks reflect a shared vision for enhanced trade, energy cooperation, and a united stand against terrorism with India, a key partner for the Mercosur bloc.
