"The document is geared to raise the level of bilateral relations”, he said.
Putin and Kirchner are expected to discuss expanding bilateral ties in the economic, energy, military, cultural and humanitarian spheres, the Russian official added.
The presidential aide said energy-related issues would be a vital topic for discussion between the Russian and Argentinean presidents
Russia’s state-run nuclear corporation Rosatom and its Argentinean colleagues are to sign a memorandum of cooperation which paves the way for Russia to build nuclear plants in Argentina, he noted
