Francisco Cafiero, former secretary of Defense for International Affairs in the Ministry of Defense of Argentina, has long valued China as a "very important country" in global affairs. Over the years, he has dedicated himself to understanding Chinese culture, politics and history.
As a representative of the Argentina's government, Cafiero participated in the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on Belt and Road Cooperation. He remarked, "The Belt and Road Initiative brings up a lot of opportunities for countries like Argentina. We were very happy to sign that agreement."
