Argentina, officially the Argentine Republic, is a country in Latin America.

History

In 1976, as part of Operation Condor, the CIA backed a far-right coup in Argentina that overthrew president Isabel Perón. After the coup, a military junta led by Jorge Rafael Videla took power and killed or disappeared 30,000 left-wing dissidents.[1] In 1983, military rule ended and Videla was given a life sentence for crimes against humanity in 1985.[2]

In February 2022, Argentina joined China's infrastructure program, the Belt and Road Initiative.[3] The areas of cooperation include green energy, technology, education, agriculture, communication, and nuclear energy.[4][5]
