He further noted that Argentina is going to host some delegates from its states and added that they were glad to have this opportunity.

He also spoke about the bilateral ties between New Delhi and Buenos Aires, stating how the relationship between the two countries is based on complementarity, common values and the spirit of democracy.

"Also from the point of view of the economies, the two economies are very complementary. I hope we can continue growing. Currently, Argentina and India enjoy almost $5.5 billion economic exchange. And India has become the sixth largest partner for Argentina. So I hope this can continue and can grow and expand into other fields", he told ANI.

Great to see the positive international recognition. The focus on 'sovereign AI' and inclusive development is crucial. I just hope the discussions translate into real policies that benefit ordinary citizens and small businesses, not just big tech companies.

$5.5 billion with Argentina is impressive! These summits are good for diplomacy and trade. Hope our startups get more access to Latin American markets because of such engagements. Jai Hind!

As someone working in tech, this is encouraging. The world is finally looking at India not just for IT services but for thought leadership in cutting-edge fields like AI. The line-up of global leaders attending is itself a huge endorsement.

While the summit is a good initiative, we must be cautious. Leadership means responsibility. I hope alongside the grand visions, there is concrete talk about data privacy laws, ethical AI frameworks, and preventing job displacement in our country. The 'impact' needs to be positive for all.

Love to see India bridging ties with countries like Argentina. Our foreign policy is really active. The complementarity he mentioned is key - we can trade tech for their agricultural products maybe? Win-win. 👏
