India and Argentina on Friday signed an agreement to ensure legal rights of professionals in each other’s domain that will assist in risk-free international mobility. The Embassy of India in a statement said that the ‘Social Security Agreement’ is aimed at ensuring rights of the growing number of Indian nationals employed in various Indian and international concerns in Argentina as well as for Argentine nationals seeking employment in India.
“The Social Security Agreement signed today after detailed yet speedy negotiations, particularly expedited in the last year would protect rights of professionals and workers against loss of benefits or contributions made towards social security in both countries and thus facilitate greater movement of professionals and labour force,” a statement issued by the Embassy of India in Buenos Aires has stated.
The Agreement was signed by Indian ambassador to Argentina Dinesh Bhatia and the Argentina’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, International Trade and Worship Santiago Cafiero. Mr Cafiero visited India in April last year when India extended support to Argentina’s claims for reopening the international campaign for the Falklands which are also known as Las Malvinas. 2022 marked the 40th anniversary of the war over the territory that was fought between Argentina and the UK. Argentina does not recognise British sovereignty over the region.
