On the eve of the first official visit to Argentina by the Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau, the government of Mauricio Macri formalized the decision to eliminate the visa requirement for Canadians traveling to the country for business starting next December .

By a resolution published this Thursday in the Official Journal, the Executive determined the visa exemption for “Canadian nationals holding an ordinary passport of their nationality, when their entry into the country is for commercial reasons, on a temporary basis and for a period of ninety days. , renewable for an equal period.”

The objective is to promote “investments and thus foster economic and commercial relations with Canada”, according to the resolution issued by the Ministry of the Interior and signed by the head of this portfolio, Rogelio Frigerio.

For the government, the measure “is appropriate” in order to “strengthen bilateral relations with Canada aimed at promoting trade and tourism, contributing to the creation of a favorable framework to encourage cultural, scientific, technological and economic activities” .

Likewise, Argentina reaffirms its commitments to the “integration and mobility” of migrants, according to the publication Efe.

Tomorrow, Macri will receive Trudeau, who is on a tour of several Latin American countries, which began yesterday in Cuba.
