History
The first significant arrival of Polish immigrants to Argentina occurred in the late 1800s when Poles fleeing poverty and war arrived to Argentina to start a new beginning with many settling in Misiones Province, in northern Argentina.[1] The first official contact between Argentina and Poland occurred at the end of World War I in 1918 when a newly independent Poland emerged. In 1920, both nations officially established diplomatic relations.[2] Diplomatic relations continued during the German occupation: Argentina continued to recognise the diplomat appointed by the former government, and appointed a representative to the government in exile in London. In 1964, both nations upgraded their diplomatic legations to embassies.[2]
While Poland was under communism and Argentina under dictatorship, relations between both countries were limited. In 1986, Argentina Vice-President Víctor Hipólito Martínez paid a visit to Poland. In October 1990, President Carlos Menem became the first Argentine head of state to visit Poland.[3] In February 1995, Polish President Lech Wałęsa paid an official visit to Argentina.[4]
Bilateral relations
Throughout the years, both nations have signed several bilateral agreements such as an Agreement on Interchanging Diplomatic Pouches (1931); Agreement on Economic and Technical Cooperation (1974); Agreement on Maritime Fishing Cooperation (1974); Agreement on a joint venture for Export and Marketing of Fisheries and Invertebrate Resources (1974); Agreement on Scientific and Technological Cooperation (1979); Agreement on Mining Cooperation (1982); Agreement on Scientific and Cultural Cooperation (1984); Agreement on the Elimination of Visa Requirements on Ordinary, Official and Diplomatic Passports (1990); Agreement on the Promotion and Protection of Investments (1992) and an Agreement on the Avoidance of Double Taxation (2003).[2]
