Abstract

It was not until 1958 that Australian leaders raised the question of the type and intensity of ties that they found convenient to maintain with Latin America. The threat posed to its traditional markets by the protectionist policy of the European Common Market and the British intention to participate in it, would be the factors that drove Australia to search for new markets. Although the exchange with certain Latin American countries grew, it is not yet significant. Despite the mutual efforts that can be made in the field of commercial exchange, it is not possible to expect spectacular progress in this matter. However, if Argentina wishes to increase its development and political power, it must unfailingly add to the individual effort beneficial ties with other actors who share common interests, such is the case of Australia.
