“Brazil is a huge economy and for Argentine companies that is a very important market”, stated Todesca Bocco on radio 10, and remarked that in Argentina “there are sectors that are strategic today and that we can work together with Brazil”.
It is very important to strengthen the platform that is Mercosur, because we have all the resources”
In that sense, he specified that these sectors are “energy, food, health, strategic minerals”, and pointed out that they are “vectors of development that achieve inward linkages if things are done well”.
“Because all the companies that supply goods and services for each of these sectors are able to develop, generating jobs and an internal market,” the official said.
