New Delhi, Oct 14 Visiting Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner met Vice President Hamid Ansari, UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi and senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader Lal Krishna Advani in the national capital on Wednesday.

Kirchner is in India on a three-day visit to enhance bilateral relations and trade between the two countries. She is accompanied by a high-level delegation that includes the country's Foreign Minister and a large business delegation.

She had earlier in the day met Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan, and held talks over political issues between the two countries.

"Within this new international scenario and after the meeting that I held today with the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, we are facing a re-launch of not only a new trade and economic relationship, but also mainly a political one between both the countries," Kirchner said.

President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner's visit is being taking place during the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between India and Argentina.

This is also the first Presidential visit from Argentina in 15 years. The last visit was by President Menem in 1994.

The last visit by an Indian Prime Minister to Argentina was in 1995 by Late P.V. Narasimha Rao for the G-15 Summit.

On Thursday, Kirchner will visit Agra and Mumbai. (ANI)
