Buenos Aires’ voice in Washington, Ambassador Mariano Agustin Cosino, spotlighted India’s unique advantage in a revealing interview. He credits the nation’s enormous and skilled populace for fueling its economic ascent.
‘The biggest strength? Your people,’ Cosino declared outright. ‘Beyond size, Indians possess boundless creativity. Deregulate, and they deliver – evident in your stellar growth trajectory over 10-15 years.’
He spotlighted PM Modi’s successes. ‘Impressive foreign relations, including with Argentina, but the economic stats speak loudest: steady 6-8% expansion,’ Cosino said. From Modi’s Argentina visit: ‘Talks with President Milei hammered home deregulation’s role in unleashing potential.’
On boosting investments, his view was pragmatic. ‘Not my place to advise on internal matters, but open markets invariably empower consumers and stimulate consumption.’
Forward-looking, Cosino pitched collaboration. ‘Our economies mesh well – Argentina can aid India’s food and energy security amid our growing strategic partnership.’
India’s saga of turning demographic weight into economic momentum inspires globally. Stronger India-Argentina bonds could redefine trade dynamics.
