The strategic partnership was set up in 2004 when then Chinese President Hu Jintao visited Argentina, marking the start of the golden period of bilateral ties.
In June 2011, Argentine President Cristina Fernandez said Wen's visit had pushed bilateral ties to a new high.
Furthermore, humanistic exchanges and cooperation have built bridges. Two Confucius Institutes have been established here, and many local colleges offer Chinese language classes.
The sound development of China-Argentina relations has proved it is a necessary choice for the two peoples to forge friendly ties, which serves the fundamental interests of both sides.
Ambassador Yin said that mutual respect on the issues concerning each other's core interests, including sovereignty and territorial integrity, had laid a solid foundation for the steady development of bilateral ties.
What's more, mutually beneficial economic ties between China and Argentina had boosted bilateral trade cooperation, and mutual support in the international arena had guaranteed the common interests of both sides, Yin said.
