Prime Minister Narendra Modi has arrived in Buenos Aires, Argentina, for a significant two-day bilateral visit aimed at deepening ties between the two nations. Touching down on the evening of July 4, 2025 (local time), PM Modi received a ceremonial welcome at the Ezeiza International Airport, marking a historic occasion this is the first Indian bilateral visit at the prime ministerial level to Argentina in 57 years.

This visit is PM Modi's second trip to the South American nation as Prime Minister, his previous visit being in 2018 for the G20 Summit. Argentina marks the third stop on his ongoing five-nation tour, following his engagements in Russia and Trinidad and Tobago. The Prime Minister's arrival in Argentina underscores India’s commitment to strengthening its global partnerships, especially with key Latin American economies.

During his stay in Buenos Aires, PM Modi is scheduled to hold wide-ranging discussions with Argentine President Javier Milei. According to the Ministry of External Affairs, the talks will cover vital sectors such as defence, agriculture, mining, oil and gas, renewable energy, trade, and investment.

In his departure statement, PM Modi highlighted Argentina’s importance as an economic partner in Latin America and as a collaborative force within the G20. “We will focus on advancing our mutually beneficial cooperation, including in the areas of agriculture, critical minerals, energy, trade, tourism, technology, and investment,” PM Modi said ahead of the meeting with President Milei, whom he had also met last year.

The visit is expected to inject fresh momentum into the India-Argentina strategic partnership and expand avenues for collaboration across various domains. As India continues to explore global partnerships for sustainable growth and mutual prosperity, Latin America led by strategic allies like Argentina is gaining increased attention in India’s foreign policy priorities.

Before arriving in Argentina, PM Modi concluded a two-day visit to Trinidad and Tobago, where the two nations signed six bilateral agreements. In a notable recognition of his leadership and contributions to bilateral relations, PM Modi was conferred with the 'Order of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago' the Caribbean nation’s highest civilian honour making him the first foreign leader to receive it.

Following his visit to Argentina, PM Modi will head to Brazil to attend the 17th BRICS Summit and continue on a state visit. The final leg of his journey will take him to Namibia, rounding off a dynamic and impactful multi-nation diplomatic mission.
