On October 14, the auditorium of the Argentine Chamber of Commerce and Services (CAC) hosted the Ecuador-Argentina Business Forum, organized together with the Ecuadorian Business Committee and the Ecuadorian-Argentine Chamber of Commerce (CCEA). The event took place a few weeks after the two countries signed an agreement establishing preferential terms for trade in vehicles and auto parts. The day was built on this starting point, opening the door to other sectors in which the two nations complement each other.

Deputy Minister Silvana Peñaherrera took part in the Ecuador–Argentina Business Roundtable 2026, organized by the Trade Office of Ecuador in Buenos Aires, where Ecuadorian companies such as Indparts, Imap, Licorec, Ecualimfood, Top Rentals and Chaaski Tours held one-on-one meetings with Argentine companies to explore business opportunities and strengthen business ties.
The Deputy Minister also met with Daniel Scioli, Argentina's Secretary of Tourism, Environment and Sports, to strengthen the bilateral relationship, exchange experiences and promote cooperation on initiatives that boost inbound tourism and create new opportunities for both countries
