President Plevneliev Arrives on Official Visit to Argentina

Buenos Aires, February 4 (BTA Special Correspondent Assen Boyadjiev) - President Rosen Plevneliev Wednesday arrived on an official visit to Argentina following his three-day visit to Brazil.

The visit started with a meeting with representatives of the Bulgarian community in Argentina who came from Chaco Province, Comodoro Rivadavia, Cordoba Province, Buenos Aires, La Plata, and Berisso.

Argentina has the biggest Bulgarian community in South America: approximately 45,000 Argentine nationals of Bulgarian origin. There are six Bulgarian cultural and educational associations in Argentina.

After taking questions, President Plevneliev and his team committed to help in the solving of problems of the Bulgarian organizations in Argentina, part of which are related to the shortage of school aids.

As part of his visit to Argentina, the Bulgarian head of State is scheduled to confer with his counterpart Mauricio Macri and take part in the opening of an Argentine-Bulgarian business forum.

To be signed is a memorandum of understanding on cooperation in the sphere of defence between the two countries' defence ministries.

This year marks the 85th anniversary of the establishment of Bulgarian-Argentine diplomatic relations.
