Demographics One-third of the country's 40 million people
live in Buenos Aires, the capital, which along with other urban areas accounts for almost 90% of the total population.

When Argentina gained independence in 1816 thousands of Italians, Irish, Welsh,Germans, Poles and Ukrainians immigrated to the country,rooting many of today’s Argentines in European ancestry.

In Argentina one should be carefull while …….. Pouring wine with your left hand is an
insult. As a visitor it is best to let your host do the pouring.
Humour in Argentina can get very personal. It is not unusual for someone to ridicule your weight or wardrobe. This is merely a sign of affection rather than any serious personal attack.
The Falklands should always be referred to as the Malvinas Islands – to call it anything else would open a political and historical can of worms.

Greetings When meeting a handshake is the norm. As the
relationship warms up this may lead to more physical contact such as a pat on the shoulder or a hug.
Women will often exchange kisses on the cheek. Titles, especially among the older generation, are very
important. Address a person directly by using his or her title only.
Persons who do not have professional titles should be addressed as Mr., Mrs., or Miss, plus theirsurnames. In Spanish these are:
Mr. = Señor Mrs. = Señora Miss = Señorita

Business Meetings Appointments are necessary and should be made at
least two weeks in advance, preferably by email or telephone.
January and February should be avoided as this is when holidays are taken. The middle weeks of July are also when many go skiing.
Due to their hierarchical nature Argentines would expect to be met by someone sharing the same rank.
Do not immediately begin discussing business. Remember to invest in the relationship; so engage in plenty of small talk and show an interest in the person you are meeting.
It is quite normal for people to accept telephone calls and attend to other business during a meeting.
Decisions are not reached at meetings. Meetings are for discussion and to exchange ideas

Communications in Argentina Most Argentines believe being frank, open and direct
is good but, in reality, are very indirect and diplomatic.
Avoid confrontation. Argentines dislike disagreements. Where there are tricky issues to address, do so in a manner that places nobody in direct blame.
Hierarchy is respected so it is imperative to show deference and esteem to those in positions of authority.
