India now Argentina's 6th largest economic partner, envoy says

Caucino said the convergence of national interests is driven by what he called the objective complementarity linking the two economies. He cited critical minerals and energy alongside agriculture as sectors where Argentina can cooperate more with India.

"The efforts made by the government to open and diversify the economy will continue to deliver good results for consumers," Caucino said, referring to India's liberalization push.

Argentina, the eighth-largest country by area, has a population of fewer than 50 million. Its agricultural output is large relative to its population. Caucino noted that Argentina sits in a peaceful region with no major geopolitical conflicts, allowing it to provide food and energy security at a time global disruptions persist.

"Together, Argentina and India, by combining our shared agricultural heritage and expertise, we can promote innovation and food security in a sustainable and reliable manner," he said.
