On June 30, 2025, India’s government said Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Argentina on July 4-5, 2025, invited by their President Javier Milei. It’s part of a trip to five countries, including Ghana, Trinidad and Tobago, Brazil, and Namibia. This is the first one-on-one visit by an Indian PM to Argentina in 57 years, so it’s super special. Modi went there for a G20 meeting in 2018, but this is all about making India and Argentina better friends.
Wow, a visit after 57 years? That’s so cool! I’m excited to see how India and Argentina team up.
What’s Happening?
Modi will start by honoring General Jose de San Martín, Argentina’s hero, at his statue. Then, he’ll get a warm welcome and talk with President Milei about important stuff, followed by a lunch. They’ll chat about trade, energy, and ways to work together. India and Argentina have been close partners since 2019, and they celebrated 75 years of friendship last year.
Honoring a hero and eating lunch with the president? That sounds like a great way to start this big visit!
Sharing India’s Ideas
India wants to share its skills in defense, space, tech, and health with Argentina. P. Kumaran, from India’s government, said India’s health tech, like telemedicine, can help Argentina give better, cheaper medical care to more people. They also want to team up on farming, mining, oil, gas, clean energy, trade, and connecting people.
It’s awesome that India’s sharing its cool tech! Helping Argentina with health stuff sounds like a great plan.
Minerals and Energy
Argentina has lots of lithium, copper, and other special minerals India needs for clean energy. They made a deal in 2022 to work on minerals together, and they had their first meeting in January 2025. Argentina also has tons of gas and oil, which could help India a lot. India’s company, KABIL, started mineral projects in Argentina in 2024.
Lithium for clean energy? That’s so important! It’s great that India and Argentina are working together on this.
More Trade
Trade between India and Argentina has grown fast! It doubled from 2019 to 2022 to $6.4 billion. In 2021 and 2022, India was Argentina’s fourth biggest trade buddy. In 2024, trade grew 33% to $5.23 billion, and India became their fifth biggest trade partner. Argentina sends soybean and sunflower oil to India, which is super helpful.
Trade doubling? That’s huge! I love that Argentina’s oils are helping India, and they’re growing even more.
Why This Is a Big Deal
Modi’s visit is special because Argentina is making big changes, like India did before. This trip could make the two countries super close, especially in energy, minerals, and tech. With trade already big and new projects like KABIL, this visit could bring new chances for both. It’s a big moment for India and Argentina to grow stronger together.
This trip is so exciting! I can’t wait to see what they do together. What do you think about Modi’s visit? Tell me!
