ARGENTINA: Soya dispute with China remains unresolved
President Cristina Fernández travelled to China on 9 July in what was
expected to be a crucial commercial trip to resolve an ongoing dispute with the
Asian giant. But, the principal goal of the visit - to resolve the ongoing
dispute over China's decision to bar the import of Argentine soya oil it
considers contains an unacceptably high level of solvent - was not entirely
fulfilled. Nonetheless, Fernández will return home having signed a major
bilateral agreement granting some US$10bn of Chinese financing for the upgrade
of Argentina's rail system.
