During the meeting, the President informed the Governor of the reopening of the honorary consulate in the city.
"It is an announcement that shows the importance of Santa Fe and Rosario on the international stage; Croatia is a country that has an embassy in the city of Buenos Aires and its first consulate is going to be here in Rosario," highlighted Lifschitz.
"We have a very important Croatian community and they have expressed their interest in deepening the links of technical and cultural cooperation, and above all, economic linkage," said the governor.
