Leaders of both countries will discuss further cooperation in bilateral trade and investment, science and technology, combating tropical illnesses and transportation. They will also exchange views on promoting cooperation between the Common Market of the South (Mercosur) and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
