Brasília, 27 (Agência Brasil - ABr) - Brazil signed yesterday (26) agreements with Argentina to increase trade relations, by ending trade disputes and financing the debts of delinquent Argentine importers. The minister of Development, Sérgio Amaral, recalled that many difficulties between the two countries were created during the administration of the then-minister of Economy, Domingo Cavalo. But that now Brazil and Argentina are disposed not only to work to strengthen the Southern Cone Common Market, but they are also united in the desire to establish pacts with the countries of the Andean region and Central America, as well as to expand trade with China and India.
