Buenos Aires, November 12, 2021.- In order to promote new trade opportunities and strengthen the development agenda between Central America and the Republic of Argentina, authorities from the Central American Bank for Economic Integration (CABEI) will visit Argentina to develop an intense work agenda and technical meetings between November 12 and 20.

During that week they will hold meetings with representatives of the Argentine State and the Province of Córdoba, businessmen and organizations, and will also visit works that are part of the eight programs being executed in the country, such as the new headquarters of the Ministry of Women, Gender and Diversity and the Bicentennial Hospital in the town of Ituzaingó, in the Province of Buenos Aires.

CABEI officials will also meet with the technical teams of the ministries in charge of other operations executed with its financial support, such as Health, Science, Technology and Innovation, Women, Gender and Diversity, Public Works, Productive Development, Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, the Secretariat of Strategic Affairs and the National Institute of Social Services for Retirees and Pensioners (PAMI).

CABEI Executive President, Dante Mossi, said, "As CABEI, we are pleased to have an extraregional partner of Argentina's weight and to have it be our gateway to Mercosur. The Argentines have enormous potential in productive sectors that are totally complementary for our region, which is why it is essential to strengthen ties between the nations and exchange knowledge that will generate positive impacts for both.

Maximiliano Alonso, CABEI Director for Argentina and Colombia, commented, "The Bank's agenda aims to develop new opportunities and projects not only with the Argentine State, but also with the private sector to leverage new opportunities for the country's development and, at the same time, strengthen ties between Argentina and Central America.

Argentina has been a CABEI extraregional partner since 1995 and currently has active operations totaling US$379 million, benefiting sectors such as science and technology, agriculture, gender equity and the digital transformation of SMEs, among others.
