India and Argentina share many common as being part of the 10 countries with the largest area in the world and producing highly diversified production matrix and the similarities in terms of investment in space technology that both nations maintain. Both India and Argentina recognize the similarities between the two countries if developing economies based on agriculture and for that reason assigned greater importance to the need to work together on many issues, including, for example, a greater exchange in the field of bilateral trade and cooperation in the areas of science and technology, education, agriculture and culture.
