Abstract

Argentina is considered one of the fastest developing countries in Latin America. However, since 2015, the country has been trying to get out of the economic crisis, which has significantly worsened by 2019. Meanwhile China’s relations with geographically and culturally distant continents, such as Latin America, are widely seen as a part of Chinese government’s drive to establish itself as a global leader, as well as to secure new markets and resources for its sustainable growth. Even the distance between regions is not a significant obstacle to the sustainable development of relations. This article will discuss the relations between the People’s Republic of China and the Argentine Republic. The author focuses on the economic, investment and energy aspects of sustainable development of bilateral relations. The objective was to establish the format of bilateral relations between Argentina and China starting in 2015 and ending in 2020. It can be concluded that the relations between Argentina and China are a dynamically developing example of mutually beneficial sustainable development of the two countries and such relations can be used by Argentina in order to overcome the crisis and for further prosperity of this beautiful country.
