Argentina–Russia relations are foreign relations between the Argentine Republic and the Russian Federation. Diplomatic relations between both countries were established on October 22, 1885.

History

Unofficial relations in the 1920s were influenced heavily by inner-Argentine affairs in the 1920s.[1] The Soviet Union had established official diplomatic relations with Argentina on June 5, 1946.

Celebrating 125 years of bilateral relations, in April 2010, Dmitry Medvedev paid a first visit of a Russian head of state to Argentina.[2]

In July 2014, Russian President Vladimir Putin visited Argentina, and signed a nuclear energy cooperation agreement with his Argentine counterpart Cristina Fernández.[3]

In April 2015, Russian president Vladimir Putin publicly supported Cristina Fernández and Argentina's claims to the Falkland Islands.[4] President Putin is currently in agreements over leasing 12 Sukhoi Su-24 Fencer aircraft to Buenos Aires in return for beef and wheat.[5]

Since Macri took power in late 2015, Argentina have been searching a closer relationship with Western Europe and the United States, making a difference with the more neutral previous administration international policy about Russia.
