President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner expressed her satisfaction for the over 1,000 businessmen that attended the Argentinean-Chinese forum she presided in Beijing. She also rejected criticism voiced by the Argentine Industrial Union (UIA) against her trip to China and the bilateral deals reached.
Ms. Kirchner tweeted about her third day in China, when she presided the Argentine-Chinese Business Forum. She said that 102 Argentine companies and over 500 Chinese firmed signed up for the seminar. “Some of the Argentine companies arrived 2 weeks ago to close businesses across the different regions,” she wrote.
She went on with a couple of ironic tweets regarding the criticism voiced by UIA to her trip and the deals signed with China.
“Sorry (original in English). You know what? It is so ridiculous, so absurd that you can only process it with humour. Otherwhise they are too toxic,” she said, before posting a tweet suggesting that the Chinese struggle to pronounce «rice», «petroleum» and «Cámpora,» the Spanish name given to the Kirchnerite youth organization.
«More than 1,000 participants at the event… Are they all from the Campola and in it only for the lice and petloleum?» Fernandez tweeted.
The UIA has expressed its concern over the “lack of information” on the agreements between Buenos Aires and Beijing, questioning the absence of Argentinean companies and workers on the infrastructure works financed by China.
“Don’t worry, we still defend the Argentine work and the businessmen’s role,” Ms. Kirchner wrote. “Only someone politically-motivated or ignorant could think that the Argentine government would be willing to give up those things,” she added.
