“We value Argentina’s contributions to international peacekeeping operations and its leadership in international nonproliferation efforts. In addition, we appreciate Argentina’s advocacy for the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals. We look forward to continuing work together on these and other issues,” it adds.

In addition, Vladimir Putin praised Argentina’s economic, social and scientific achievements, adding the country fulfills a leading role in current world affairs.
