Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez met Argentine President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner in Caracas on 11 August 2009.[2] Kirchner called it a "bilateral meeting [...] aimed at deepening our vital integration."[2]
The two presidents signed deals intended to see Venezuela import leather, machinery and poultry from Argentina, whilst a rice importation agreement was described by the Argentine President as "the biggest ever in Argentina's history".[2] The deals were said to be worth $1.1 billion.[1] The meeting coincided with visits to Venezuela by dozens of Argentine businessmen.[2]
