PM Modi meets Argentina's President: Focus on energy, defence and trade ties

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is on a two-day visit to Argentina as part of his five-nation tour. He met with Argentine President Javier Milei for bilateral talks, focusing on strengthening ties between the two nations. The discussions are centred on energy cooperation, with Argentina's vast shale gas and lithium reserves being of particular interest to India. Defence cooperation, trade, and investment are also key areas of focus. Argentina, being among India's top six trading partners, is seen as a potential long-term energy partner. The visit is part of India's efforts to expand its global southern outreach and diversify its energy supplies.
