This article deals with the '''[[diplomacy|diplomatic affairs]], [[foreign policy]] and [[international relations]] of the [[Argentine Republic]]'''. At the political level, these matters are handled by the [[Ministry of Foreign Affairs, International Trade and Worship|Ministry of Foreign Affairs]], also known as the ''Cancillería'', which answers to the [[President of Argentina|President]]. The current Minister of Foreign Affairs, since December 2023, is [[Chancellor#Foreign minister|Chancellor]] (es: ''Canciller'') [[Diana Mondino]].

Owing to its geographical remoteness, local authorities in what is today Argentina developed an early sense of autonomy. Based largely on economic needs, during colonial times their pragmatism led to a flourishing unofficial [[Contraband|market in smuggled goods]], out of the then-small port of [[Buenos Aires]], in blatant contravention of the Spanish [[mercantilist]] laws. With the [[Enlightenment Spain#Enlightened despotism (1759–1788)|Enlightened despotism]] of the late-eighteenth-century Bourbon kings and the creation of the [[Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata]] in 1776, trade increased as the political importance of the port-city of Buenos Aires soared. The urgency for a complete [[Laissez-faire|liberalization of commerce]] remained a powerful political cause for [[Criollo people|Criollos]] and [[Mestizo]]s, further stimulated by the politically egalitarian and revolutionary ideals spread by the [[French Revolution|French]] and [[American Revolution|Anglo-American]] revolutions. Ultimately, the actual experience of successfully defending without Spanish aid the viceroyalty from a foreign invader during the 1806–1807 [[British invasions of the Río de la Plata]], triggered a decisive quest for even greater autonomy from the colonial metropolis.

Between 1808 and 1810, the [[First French Empire|Napoleonic French Empire]] openly [[Peninsular War|invaded Spain]], after deposing King [[Ferdinand VII of Spain|Ferdinand VII]] and taking him prisoner. A Spanish resistance formed an emergency government, the [[Supreme Central and Governing Junta of the Kingdom (Spain)|Supreme Central and Governing Junta of the Kingdom]] in order to govern themselves and the Spanish Empire in the absence of Ferdinand VII. But, when the Supreme Central Junta dissolved itself on 29 January 1810, under extreme pressure from Napoleonic forces, most of the [[Spanish American wars of independence|main cities of Spanish America]] refused to acknowledge its successor, a Regency Council, as the legitimate depositary of sovereignty. They proceed to name their own local [[junta (Peninsular War)|junta]]s, as a means to exercise government in the absence of the prisoner king.

On [[May Revolution|25 May 1810]], a Criollo-led ''[[Open cabildo|cabildo abierto]]'' formally assumed the authority from Viceroy [[Baltasar Hidalgo de Cisneros]]. However, the ensuing [[United Provinces of South America]] (formed on the basis of the former Viceroyalty) declared itself independent on 9 July 1816, after [[Ferdinand VII]] was restored in 1815. During the [[Argentine War of Independence|Independence Wars]] no sovereign state recognized the United Provinces.

Until the fall of the [[Royalist (Spanish American Revolution)|Royalist]] stronghold of [[Lima]] in 1821, and the [[Battle of Ayacucho]] of 1824, territorial integrity was solely sustained by the military brilliance of Generals [[José de San Martín]] and [[Manuel Belgrano]], the continuous efforts of northern provinces defenders [[Martín Miguel de Güemes]] and [[Juana Azurduy]], among many others. However, during this same period, internecine power conflicts among diverse leaders, and ideological and economical struggles developed between [[Buenos Aires Province]] and much of the rest of the United Provinces, with many of the Provinces bonding themselves into a [[Liga Federal|Federal League]], inspired by ''Federalist'' [[José Gervasio Artigas]]' leadership. In practice, each side treated the other's grievances as a "foreign policy" matter.

The ''[[centralized government|Unitarian]]'' Constitution of 1819 was immediately rejected by the provinces, and a state of anarchy ensued following the [[Battle of Cepeda (1820)|Battle of Cepeda]]. The only cause that could regain unity among the hostile factions was the 1825 invasion of what today is [[Uruguay]] on the part of [[Brazilian Empire]]. Uruguay, then known as the ''Province of the Eastern Bank of the Uruguay River'', was considered a somewhat breakaway Province, since [[Montevideo]] served as the seat of the [[Royalist (Spanish American Revolution)|Royalist]] Viceroy [[Francisco Javier de Elío]] during its war on the [[May Revolution]]; and that, after the independentists victory, the Province became the main stronghold of the [[Liga Federal|Federal League]] leader [[José Gervasio Artigas]], who waged a long and bitter dispute during the 1810s against the [[Unitarian Party|Unitarians]] about the shape the national organization would have.

The war crisis led to a new Constitution and a first semblance of a united national government, at the same time it represented the first foreign policy crisis of the young nation (known as ''República Argentina'', ''per'' the 1926 Constitution), as it forced the nation into war with Brazil.

The common cause the crisis provided did lead to enough institutional stability to have the [[British Empire]] recognize Argentina (as President [[James Monroe]] had the [[United States Department of State|U.S. State Department]] done in 1822) and led to the election of the first [[List of heads of state of Argentina|President of Argentina]]. The opportunity for unity, however, was wasted largely because the new President, [[Bernardino Rivadavia]], pushed a new Constitution even more biased towards Buenos Aires' agenda than the failed 1819 document. The war with Brazil, moreover, went badly. Land battles were won, early on, and despite some heroic feats on the part on Irish-born Admiral [[Guillermo Brown]], the war dragged on, resulting in bankruptcy. This and the hated new constitution led to the end of the first republic by 1828; it also led, however, to peace with Brazil and the formation of an independent [[Uruguay]].

26 September 1828 treaty itself became another foreign policy crisis, as it triggered a violent ''coup d'état'' by generals opposed to what they saw as a unilateral surrender. The murder of the man responsible for the treaty, Buenos Aires Governor [[Manuel Dorrego]], itself led to a countercoup that brought with it the promise of a lasting peace; but eventually led to destabilizing consequences.

The countercoup brought in a new governor for the [[Buenos Aires Province]], who would in time become the leading figure of a loose [[confederation]] of Argentine Provinces (the so-called [[Argentine Confederation]]). [[Juan Manuel de Rosas]] made it his mission to stabilize Argentina in a confederacy under the tutelage of Buenos Aires Province. This led to repression, massacres of Native Americans in the [[Pampas]] and, in 1838, an international embargo over the case of a French journalist tortured to death at Rosas' orders.{{Citation needed|date=January 2010}} An unyielding Rosas might have let the impasse continue for a decade or more; but, Admiral [[Guillermo Brown]] made his talents amenable once again, forcing the French blockade to be lifted in 1841.

Having come to power avenging the murder of a man who had decided to cease interference in Uruguay, Rosas invaded Uruguay upon the 1842 election of a government there antagonistic to his personal commercial interests (mainly centered in the export of cow hides and beef jerky, valuable commodities in those days). Commercially close with the French and British Empires, Uruguay's crisis met with swift reprisals against Rosas and the Argentine Confederacy from the two mighty powers. Slapped with fresh embargoes and a joint blockade, Argentina by 1851 found itself bankrupt and with "rogue nation" standing; on 3 February 1852, a surprise military campaign led by the Governor of [[Entre Ríos Province]], [[Justo José de Urquiza]], put an end to the Rosas regime and, until 1878, at least, serious Argentine foreign policy misadventures.

=== Constitution and conflict resolution ===
[[File:Abrazo del Estrecho (1899).jpg|thumb|left|President Julio Roca hosts Argentine and Chilean negotiators in an 1899 bid to avoid war.]]
The deposition of Rosas led to Argentina's present institutional framework, outlined in the [[Argentine Constitution|1853 constitution]]. The document, drafted by a legal scholar specializing in the interpretation of the [[United States Constitution]] put forth national social and economic development as its overriding principle. Where foreign policy was concerned, it specifically put emphasis on the need to encourage immigration and little else, save for the national defense against aggressions. This, of course, was forced into practice by Paraguayan dictator [[Francisco Solano López (politician)|Francisco Solano López]]'s disastrous 1865 invasion of northern Argentine territory, leading to an [[Paraguayan War|alliance]] between 1820s-era adversaries Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay and the loss of hundreds of thousands of lives (particularly Paraguay's own).

Setbacks notwithstanding, the policy was successful. Domestically, Argentina was quickly transformed by immigration and foreign investment into, arguably, the most educationally and economically advanced nation in Latin America. Whatever else was happening domestically, internationally, Argentine policy earned a reputation for pragmatism and the reliance of conflict resolution as a vehicle to advance national interests. The era's new strongman, Gen. [[Julio Roca]], was the first Argentine leader to treat foreign policy on equal footing with foreign investment and immigration incentives, universal education and repression as instruments of national development. His first administration occupied [[Patagonia]] and entered into an 1881 agreement with Chile to that effect and his second one commissioned archaeologist [[Francisco Moreno]] to survey an appropriate boundary between the two neighbors, which brought Chile into the historic [[Pactos de Mayo|1902 pact]], settling questions over Patagonian lands east of the [[Andes]]. Later that year, endorsed his Foreign Secretary's successful negotiation of a debt dispute between [[Venezuela]], France and Germany. Foreign Secretary [[Luis Drago]]'s proposal in this, a dispute among third parties, became the [[Drago Doctrine]], part of [[international law]] to this day.

[[File:Paz del Chaco.jpg|thumb|Signatories of the 1938 treaty ending the Chaco War gather in Buenos Aires. Foreign Minister Carlos Saavedra Lamas is at right]]
This success led to a joint effort between Argentina, Brazil and [[Chile]] to negotiate a peaceful resolution to the United States' [[Veracruz Incident|occupation of Veracruz, Mexico]] in April 1914. That May, the three nations' foreign ministers hosted U.S. officials in Canada, a conference instrumental in the withdrawal of U.S. troops that November. This also resulted in the 1915 [[ABC pact]] signed between the three and, like Brazil and Chile, Argentina thereafter pursued a pragmatic foreign policy, focused on preserving favorable trade relationships. This policy was in evidence during the 1933 [[Roca-Runciman Treaty]], which secured Argentine markets among British colonies, and in the Argentine position during the [[Chaco War]]. Resulting from the 1928 discovery of petroleum in the area, the dispute developed into war after [[Bolivia]]'s appeal for Argentine intervention in what it saw as Paraguayan incursions into potentially oil-rich lands were rejected. Bolivia invaded in July 1932 and, despite its legitimate claim to what historically had been its territory, its government's ties to [[Standard Oil of New Jersey]] (with whom the Argentine government was in dispute over its alleged pirating of oil in [[Salta Province]])<ref name=Wirth>Wirth, John. ''The Oil Business in Latin America''. Beard Books, 2001.</ref> led Buenos Aires to withhold diplomatic efforts until, in June 1935, a cease-fire was signed. The laborious negotiations called in Buenos Aires by Argentine Foreign Minister [[Carlos Saavedra Lamas]] yielded him Latin America's first [[Nobel Peace Prize]] in 1936 and a formal peace treaty in July 1938.

==World War II==
{{main|Argentina during World War II|Inter-American Conference on Problems of War and Peace}}
As they had during World War I, Argentine governments of different ideological stripes remained consistent in one important foreign policy point: they maintained Argentina neutral, preferring to offer the nation's vast [[Agriculture in Argentina|agricultural export]] capacity to British and U.S. wartime needs; indeed, Argentine trade surpluses totalled US$1&nbsp;billion during World War I and US$1.7&nbsp;billion during World War II.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.indec.mecon.ar/nuevaweb/cuadros/19/anuario_com_ext_06.pdf |title=INDEC |access-date=2 October 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081031130057/http://www.indec.mecon.ar/nuevaweb/cuadros/19/anuario_com_ext_06.pdf |archive-date=31 October 2008 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all }}</ref>

In early 1945, the United States and 19 Latin American countries met in Mexico at the [[Inter-American Conference on Problems of War and Peace]]. Argentina was not invited. The conference demanded that Argentina declare war on Germany or else it would be isolated. Argentina did so on  27 March 1945, and kept its status in the Pan-American Union and at the insistence of Latin American delegations was admitted to the new United Nations.<ref>{{cite book|author=Anne Sharp Wells|title=Historical Dictionary of World War II: The War against Germany and Italy|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=eR5-AgAAQBAJ&pg=PA43|year=2013|publisher=Scarecrow Press|page=43|isbn=9780810879447}}</ref>

==Cold War==

[[File:Frondizi y Kennedy en Estados Unidos 1961.jpg|thumb|left|240px|President Frondizi (''2nd from left'') hosts President John F. Kennedy in United States, 1961.]]

The incipient [[Cold War]] in evidence following World War II led the new administration of [[Juan Perón]] to conclude that a third world war might follow. Perón restored diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union and, in 1949, articulated a "third way" as his foreign policy doctrine, in hopes of avoiding friction with either superpower, while opening the door to grain sales to the perennially shortage-stricken Soviets. Though commercial concerns continued to dominate foreign policy, conflict resolution was again ventured into when President [[Arturo Frondizi]] initiated negotiations between U.S. President [[John F. Kennedy]] and Cuban representative [[Che Guevara|Ernesto ''Che'' Guevara]] during a Western Hemisphere summit in [[Uruguay]] in August 1961. Frondizi followed these exchanges with private discussions with ''Che'' Guevara in Buenos Aires, a misstep resulting in the Argentine military's opposition to further talks. Ultimately, Cuba was expelled from the [[Organization of American States]] in January 1962 and Frondizi was forced by the military to resign that March. The effort, though fruitless, showed audacity on the part of Frondizi, whom President Kennedy called "a really tough man."<ref>''Clarín''. 19 April 1995.</ref>

=== A stray from precedent ===
{{Main|Argentina–Chile relations|Falkland Islands sovereignty dispute}}

Argentina's relations with its neighbor [[Chile]], though generally cordial, have been strained by territorial disputes – mostly along their mountainous shared border – since the nineteenth century.

In 1958 the [[Argentine Navy]] shelled a Chilean lighthouse during the [[Snipe incident]].

On 6 November 1965 the Argentine Gendarmerie killed Chilean Lieutenant [[Hernán Merino Correa]], member of [[Carabineros de Chile]] in the [[Laguna del Desierto incident]].

In 1978 the bellicose<ref>See Argentine Historian Luis Alberto Romero (''Argentina in the Twentieth Century'', Pennsylvania State University Press, translated by James P. Brennan, 1994, {{ISBN|0-271-02191-8}}) about the Argentine Government: "By that time, a bellicose current of opinion had arisen among the military and its friend, an attitude rooted in a strain of Argentine nationalism, which drew substance from strong chauvinistic sentiments. Diverse ancient fantasies in society's historical imaginary-the "patria grande", the "spoliation" that the country had suffered- where added to a new fantasy of "entering the first world" through a "strong" foreign policy. All this combined with the traditional messianic military mentality and the ingeniousness of its strategies which were ignorant of the most elemental facts of international politics. The aggression against Chile, stymied by papal mediation, was transferred to Great Britain ..."</ref> Argentine dictatorship abrogated the binding [[Beagle Channel Arbitration]] and started the [[Operation Soberania]] in order to invade Chile but aborted it a few hours later due to military and political reasons.<ref>See Alejandro Luis Corbacho ''Predicting the Probability of War during Brinkmanship Crisis: The Beagle and the Malvinas conflicts'' [https://ssrn.com/abstract=1016843] (p.45): "The newspaper ''Clarín'' explained some years later that such caution was based, in part, on military concerns. In order to achieve a victory, certain objectives had to be reached before the seventh day after the attack. Some military leaders considered this not enough time due to the difficulty involved in transportation through the passes over the Andean Mountains.'' and in cite 46: ''According to ''Clarín'', two consequences were feared. First, those who were dubious feared a possible regionalization of the conflict. Second, as a consequence, the conflict could acquire great power proportions. In the first case decision makers speculated that Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador and Brazil might intervene. Then the great powers could take sides. In this case, the resolution of the conflict would depend not on the combatants, but on the countries that supplied the weapons.]"</ref> The conflict was resolved after the Argentine defeat in the Falklands by [[Papal mediation in the Beagle conflict]] of [[Pope John Paul II]] and in the form of a [[Treaty of Peace and Friendship of 1984 between Chile and Argentina]] ("Tratado de Paz y Amistad"), granting the islands to Chile and most of the [[Exclusive economic zone]] to Argentina; since then, other border disputes with Chile have been resolved via diplomatic negotiations.

The [[National Reorganization Process|military dictatorship]] in Argentina [[1982 invasion of the Falkland Islands|invaded]] and [[occupation of the Falkland Islands|occupied]] the British-controlled [[Falkland Islands]] on 2 April 1982, starting the [[Falklands War]]. The war lasted 74 days before an Argentine surrender on 14 June. The war cost the lives of nearly a thousand Argentine and British troops as well as three [[Falkland Islanders]]. It dealt the dictatorship a humiliating blow, opening the door for the return of a democratically elected government.

Since the return of civilian rule to Argentina in 1983, relations with Chile, the United Kingdom and the international community in general improved and Argentine officials have since publicly ruled out interpreting neighboring countries' policies as any potential threat; but Argentina still does not enjoy the full trust of the Chilean political class.<ref>See notes of the Chilean Foreign Minister [[Jose Miguel Insulza]], in ''[[La Tercera]]'' de Santiago de Chile, 13 July 1998: [http://www.quepasa.cl/medio/articulo/0,0,3255_5664_9525990,00.html "Enfatizó que, si bien la situación es diferente, lo que hoy está ocurriendo con el Tratado de Campo de Hielo Sur hace recordar a la opinión pública lo sucedido en 1977, durante la disputa territorial por el Canal de Beagle."]{{Dead link|date=July 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref><ref>See notes of Senator (not elected but named by the Armed Forces) [[Jorge Martínez Bush]] in ''[[La Tercera]]'' de Santiago de Chile, 26 July 1998: [http://www.quepasa.cl/medio/articulo/0,0,3255_5664_9511527,00.html "El legislador expuso que los chilenos mantienen "muy fresca" en la memoria la situación creada cuando Argentina declaró nulo el arbitraje sobre el canal del Beagle, en 1978."] {{webarchive|url=https://archive.today/20120907180513/http://www.quepasa.cl/medio/articulo/0,0,3255_5664_9511527,00.html|date=7 September 2012}}</ref><ref>See notes of the Chilean Foreign Minister [[Ignacio Walker]], ''[[Clarín (Argentine newspaper)|Clarín]]'' de B.A., 22 July 2005: [http://www.clarin.com/diario/2005/07/22/elpais/p-01901.htm "Y está en la retina de los chilenos el laudo de Su Majestad Británica, en el Beagle, que fue declarado insanablemente nulo por la Argentina.

=== Menem Presidency ===
Early on in the administration of President [[Carlos Menem]] (1989–1999), Argentina restored diplomatic relations with the United Kingdom and developed a strong partnership with the United States. It was at this time that Argentina left the [[Non-Aligned Movement]] and adopted a policy of "automatic alignment" with the United States. In 1990, Menem's Foreign Minister, [[Guido di Tella]], memorably pronounced the U.S.–Argentine alliance to be a "carnal relationship."<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/1380688/Guido-di-Tella.html | newspaper=The Telegraph | title=Guido di Tella | date=8 January 2002 | access-date=4 January 2019 }}</ref>
[[File:ARA Almirante Brown D 10 (cropped).jpg|thumb|240px|Argentine destroyer ''Almirante Brown'' leads a formation into the [[Persian Gulf]], 1991. President [[Carlos Menem]]'s decision to send a token presence into the [[Gulf War]] earned him a close alliance with U.S. President [[George H. W. Bush]].]]

Argentina was the only Latin American country to participate in the 1991 [[Gulf War]] and all phases of the [[Haiti]] operation. It has contributed to United Nations [[peacekeeping]] operations worldwide, with Argentine soldiers/engineers and police/Gendarmerie serving in [[El Salvador]]–[[Honduras]]–[[Nicaragua]] (where Navy patrol boats painted white were deployed), [[Guatemala]], Ecuador–[[Peru]], [[Western Sahara]], Angola, [[Kuwait]], Cyprus, [[Croatia]], Kosovo, [[Bosnia and Herzegovina|Bosnia]] and [[East Timor]].

In recognition of its contributions to international security and peacekeeping, U.S. President [[Bill Clinton]] designated Argentina as a [[major non-NATO ally]] in January 1998.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://commdocs.house.gov/committees/intlrel/hfa44953.000/hfa44953_0.htm|title=Overview of U.S. Policy Toward South America and the President's Upcoming Trip to the Region|website=commdocs.house.gov}}</ref> The country is currently of two in Latin America that hold this distinction, the other being Brazil.

At the United Nations, Argentina supported United States policies and proposals, among them the condemnations of Cuba on the issue of human rights, and the fight against international terrorism and narcotics trafficking. In November 1998, Argentina hosted the United Nations conference on [[climate change]], and in October 1999 in Berlin, became one of the first nations worldwide to adopt a voluntary [[greenhouse gas]] [[emissions target]].

Argentina also became a leading advocate of [[nuclear proliferation|non-proliferation]] efforts worldwide. After trying to develop nuclear weapons during the [[National Reorganization Process|1976 military dictatorship]], Argentina scrapped the project with the return of democratic rule in 1983, and became a strong advocate of non-proliferation efforts and the peaceful use of nuclear technologies.

Since the return of democracy, Argentina has also turned into strong proponent of enhanced regional stability in South America, the country revitalized its relationship with Brazil; and during the 1990s (after signing the Treaty of Peace and Friendship of 1984 between Chile and Argentina) settled lingering border disputes with [[Chile]]; discouraged military takeovers in Ecuador and [[Paraguay]]; served with the United States, Brazil and Chile as one of the four guarantors of the Ecuador–Peru peace process. Argentina's reputation as a mediator was damaged, however, when President Menem and some members of his cabinet were accused of approving the illegal sale of weapons to Ecuador and to [[Croatia]].

In 1998, President Menem made a state visit to the United Kingdom, and the Prince of Wales reciprocated with a visit to Argentina. In 1999, the two countries agreed to normalize travel to the [[Falkland Islands]] ({{langx|es|link=no|Islas Malvinas}}) from the mainland and resumed direct flights.

In the 1990s, Argentina was an enthusiastic supporter of the [[Summit of the Americas]] process, and chaired the [[Free Trade Agreement of the Americas]] (FTAA) initiative.

=== Kirchner Presidency ===
[[File:BRICS members and guest at the 6th BRICS summit 2014.jpg|thumb|240px|President [[Cristina Kirchner]] alongside the members of [[BRICS]] and [[Union of South American Nations]] in 2014.]]
Within the term of President [[Néstor Kirchner]], from 2003 onwards, Argentina suspended its policy of automatic alignment with the United States and moved closer to other Latin American countries. Argentina no longer supports the UN Commission on Human Rights resolution criticizing the "human rights situation in Cuba" and calling upon the Government of Cuba to "adhere to international human rights norms", but has chosen instead to abstain. In the [[2006 United Nations Security Council election]], Argentina supported, like all Mercosur countries, the candidacy of Venezuela (a Mercosur member) over Guatemala for a non-permanent seat in the Security Council.

The [[Mercosur]] has become a central part of the Argentine foreign policy, with the goal of forming a Latin American [[trade bloc]]. Argentina has chosen to form a bloc with Brazil when it comes to external negotiations, though the economic asymmetries between South America's two largest countries have produced tension at times.

Between 4 and 5 November 2005, the city of [[Mar del Plata]] hosted the [[Mar del Plata Summit of the Americas|Fourth Summit of the Americas]]. Although the themes were unemployment and poverty, most of the discussion was focused on the FTAA. The summit was a failure in this regard, but marked a clear split between the countries of the Mercosur, plus [[Venezuela]], and the supporters of the FTAA, led by the United States, Mexico and Canada. FTAA negotiations have effectively stalled until at least the conclusion of the 2006 [[Doha round]] global trade talks.

In 2005, Argentina assumed again (see history [[List of elected members of the United Nations Security Council#Scoretable|here]] ) the two-year non-permanent position on the [[UN Security Council]].

As of 2007, during Kirchner's almost four years in power, Argentina entered into 294 bilateral agreements, including 39 with [[Venezuela]], 37 with [[Chile]], 30 with [[Bolivia]], 21 with Brazil, 12 with China, 10 with Germany, 9 with the United States and Italy, and 7 with [[Cuba]], Paraguay, Spain and Russia.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://english.eluniversal.com/2007/03/22/en_pol_art_kirchner-signed-39-p_22A847381.shtml |title=Daily News – eluniversal.com |access-date=22 March 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070330043725/http://english.eluniversal.com/2007/03/22/en_pol_art_kirchner-signed-39-p_22A847381.shtml |archive-date=30 March 2007 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all }}</ref>

=== Macri Presidency ===
[[File:Trump macri shaking hands argentina.jpg|alt=|thumb|285x285px|Argentine President [[Mauricio Macri]] with U.S. President [[Donald Trump]] in [[Buenos Aires]], during the [[2018 G20 Buenos Aires summit|2018 G20 Summit.]]]]
Mauricio Macri started his term with a series of foreign policy objectives: (i) re-invigorate bilateral relations with the US and Europe, (ii) revise the foundations of Mercosur, evaluating (together with Brazil) alternatives that imply more free trade and (iii) go back to a single exchange rate, allow for a revival of commodity exports and attract foreign direct investment. However, the realization of these objectives will depend on the evolution of domestic (the fate of Kirchnerism) and regional (the fate of the PT in Brazil) developments.<ref>{{cite journal|url=https://www.academia.edu/21834743|title=La Política Exterior Argentina despues de los Kirchner|first=Luis L.|last=Schenoni|journal=Iberoamericana|via=www.academia.edu}}</ref>

Argentina claims part of Antarctica as [[Argentine Antarctica]], an area within the [[25th meridian west|25° West]] and [[74th meridian west|74° West]] meridians and the [[60th parallel south|60° South]] parallel. This claim overlaps the [[British Antarctic Territory|British]] and [[Antártica Chilena Province|Chilean claims]], though all territorial claims in Antarctica are currently suspended under the [[Antarctic Treaty System]]. Argentina also claims the [[British overseas territories]] of the [[Falkland Islands]] and [[South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands]]. In addition a {{convert|50|km|mi}} long border with [[Chile]] in the [[Southern Patagonian Ice Field]] is awaiting demarcation as required under a 1998 treaty.

On 22 April 2009, the Argentine government submitted a claim to the United Nations (UN) for {{convert|1700000|km2|mi2}} of ocean territory to be recognised as Argentina's [[continental shelf]] as governed by the [[Convention on the Continental Shelf]] and [[Convention on the Law of the Sea]].<ref name="bbc-2009-04-22">{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/8011539.stm|work=BBC News |access-date=2009-04-22|title=Argentina claims vast ocean area | date=22 April 2009|first=Candace|last=Piette}}</ref> Argentina claims to have spent 11 years investigating the matter and submitted {{convert|800|kg|lb}} of documents in support of the claim.<ref name="bbc-2009-04-22"/> If the claim is recognised by the UN then Argentina will gain the rights to the commercial exploitation of the sea bed (which includes mining and oil drilling). The new claim will add to the existing {{convert|4800000|km2|mi2}} of commercial shelf already managed by Argentina and includes the disputed [[British overseas territories]] of the [[Falkland Islands|Falklands]], [[South Georgia]], the [[South Sandwich Islands]] as well as parts of Antarctica that are also disputed by Chile.<ref name="bbc-2009-04-22"/>

As of 2016, the UN [[United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea|Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf]] (CLCS)<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.un.org/Depts/los/clcs_new/clcs_home.htm|title=CLCS - HOME PAGE|website=www.un.org|access-date=2017-07-11}}</ref> decided to expand Argentina maritime territory in the [[South Atlantic Ocean]] by 35% thus increasing by {{convert|1700000|km2|mi2}} its territorial waters, fixing the limit of its territory at {{convert|200|to|350|nmi}} from its coast.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/mar/29/falkland-islands-argentina-waters-rules-un-commission|title=Falkland Islands lie in Argentinian waters, UN commission rules|agency=Associated Press|date=2016-03-29|work=The Guardian|access-date=2017-07-11|language=en-GB|issn=0261-3077}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.infobae.com/politica/2017/03/22/argentina-sumo-mas-de-1-600-kilometros-cuadrados-a-su-plataforma-continental/|title=Argentina sumó más de 1.600 kilómetros cuadrados a su plataforma continental|work=Infobae|access-date=2017-07-11|language=es-LA}}</ref> However, this ruling did not increase Argentina's [[Exclusive Economic Zone]] (EEZ) which is calculated differently and over which the CLCS has no authority to make a determination.<ref name="Steinberg">{{cite web |last1=Steinberg |first1=Philip |title=Falklands row adds up to much ado about not much in the South Atlantic |url=https://theconversation.com/falklands-row-adds-up-to-much-ado-about-not-much-in-the-south-atlantic-56956 |website=The Conversation |date=29 March 2016 |publisher=The Conversation Media Group Ltd |access-date=9 March 2020 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf (CLCS) Purpose, functions and sessions |url=https://www.un.org/Depts/los/clcs_new/commission_purpose.htm |website=Oceans and Law of the Sea - United Nations |publisher=United Nations |access-date=9 March 2020}}</ref> In fact, the CLCS finding is likely to strengthen the UK’s claim to the contested seabed around the islands because the CLCS finding makes it more likely that the seabed between the islands and the Argentine mainland needs to be shared.<ref name="Steinberg"/> The UN CLCS ruling included a caveat referencing the unresolved diplomatic dispute between Argentina and the [[United Kingdom]] over the Falkland Islands.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/falkland-islands-argentinian-waters-argentina-un-united-nations-commission-on-the-limits-of-the-a6957611.html|title=The UN rules that the Falklands are in Argentina|date=2016-03-29|work=The Independent|access-date=2017-07-11|language=en-GB}}</ref>

=== Other incidents ===
Argentina, through its [[Prefectura Naval Argentina|Coast Guard]] and [[Argentine Navy|Navy]], has been traditionally greatly involved in fishery protection in the [[Argentine Sea]] with the first major incidents tracing back to the 1960s when a destroyer fired and holed a Russian trawler<ref>[Conway's All the World Fighting Ships 1947–1995]</ref> and continued through recent years.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.lanacion.com.ar/sociedad/persecucion-y-captura-de-un-pesquero-nid8194|title=Persecución y captura de un pesquero|date=8 March 2000|website=www.lanacion.com.ar}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.lanacion.com.ar/sociedad/incendian-y-hunden-un-pesquero-para-evitar-su-captura-nid572152|title=Incendian y hunden un pesquero para evitar su captura|date=11 February 2004|website=www.lanacion.com.ar}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.lanacion.com.ar/sociedad/para-evitar-su-captura-el-capitan-de-un-pesquero-hundio-el-barco-nid384762|title=Para evitar su captura, el capitán de un pesquero hundió el barco|date=30 March 2002|website=www.lanacion.com.ar}}</ref>

In November 2006, an Argentine judge issued an arrest warrant for former Iranian President [[Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani]] and eight other ex-officials in relation to the [[AMIA bombing|1994 bombing]] of the Jewish-Argentine Mutual Association (AMIA) community center in Buenos Aires which killed 85 people.<ref name="bbc-2006-11-09">{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/6134066.stm|work=BBC News |access-date=2009-04-22|title=Argentina seeks Rafsanjani arrest | date=9 November 2006}}</ref> Iran refused to carry out the arrest demanded by the warrant claiming it to be a "Zionist plot".<ref name="bbc-2006-11-09"/> As a result, President Néstor Kirchner ordered the [[List of law enforcement agencies#Argentina|security forces]] to be on the alert for incidents similar to the 1994 bombing.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://buscador.lanacion.com.ar/Nota.asp?nota_id=858650&high=rafsanjani |title=Data |website=buscador.lanacion.com.ar |access-date=2019-05-16}}</ref>

Argentina has a dispute with neighboring Uruguay about two pulp mills on the Uruguay side of the shared [[Uruguay River]] near the Argentine city of [[Gualeguaychú, Entre Ríos|Gualeguaychú]].<ref name="bbc-2006-02-15">{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/4716036.stm|work=BBC News |access-date=2009-04-22|title=River row divides former friends | date=15 February 2006|first=Daniel|last=Schweimler}}</ref> Residents of Gualeguaychú, concerned about pollution from the mills, blockaded bridges across the river in 2006.<ref name="bbc-2006-02-15"/> The case was brought before the [[International Court of Justice]].

{{Main|Argentina–Brazil relations}}

After democratization, a strong integration and partnership began between the two countries. In 1985 they signed the basis for the [[MERCOSUR]], a Regional Trade Agreement. Also on the military side there has been greater rapprochement. In accordance with the friendship policy, both armies dissolved or moved major units previously located at their common border (e.g. [[Argentine Army|Argentine]]'s 7th Jungle and 3rd Motorized Infantry Brigades). Brazilian soldiers are embedded in the Argentine [[peacekeeping]] contingent at [[UNFICYP]] in Cyprus and they are working together at [[MINUSTAH]] in Haiti and, as another example of collaboration, [[Argentine Navy]] aircraft routinely operates from the [[Brazilian Navy]] carrier ''[[NAe São Paulo|São Paulo]]''.

On 7 September 2008, the President of Argentina, [[Cristina Kirchner]], traveled to Brazil where she was the guest of honor at the Independence Day celebrations and witnessed the military parade in [[Brasília]].
