Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will make an official visit to Argentina on Monday hoping to boost investment in the Latin American nation, officials said. It is the first visit to Argentina by a Japanese prime minister in 57 years - the last was by Abe's grandfather Nobusuke Kishi in 1959. Abe's one-day visit provides the latest big international encounter for Argentina's conservative president Mauricio Macri.
He has been working to boost Argentina's trade ties since he took office a year ago after 12 years of protectionist policies under his leftist predecessors. Heading to Argentina after the Apec trade summit in Peru, Abe will meet businesspeople and members of Argentina's 65,000-strong Japanese community. The Japanese embassy in Buenos Aires said in a statement it is "a historic visit that will seek to further strengthen bilateral relations." The Argentine foreign ministry said the visit aims to reinforce ties "in the political and economic spheres and in trade, investment and cooperation in science, technology, culture and sport."
