A Protocol of Agreement was inked several days ago between Freeport of Riga and province of Corrientes, in order to boost and expand both of the ports’ facilities. Through this agreement, the two sides aim to find ways to develop their bilateral trade and to enhance Argentinian produce exports via the Port of Riga.
Governor of Argentina Gustavo Adolfo Valdes with other foreign representatives, visited the Port of Riga to negotiate for the agreement. They discussed about container terminals collaboration, possibilities for storage and shipping trade and a potential cooperation in the area of timber logistics.
This is a great opportunity to improve bilateral visibility and understand what we can do together. As to cooperation with Argentina, we have to think more in terms of working together and not so much in simple trade in goods.
