Quoting Reuters, the Asahi Shimbun on March 16, disclosed that a  "technical" delegation from China will visit Argentina this month to discuss construction of a nuclear power plant,  reportedly worth up to $8 billion. If finalized, the nuclear plant would be one of the biggest projects financed in Argentina by China, which has become a key trading partner for Argentina and its biggest non-institutional lender. The Chinese embassy in Buenos Aires did not respond to requests for comment and China National Nuclear Corporation, a state-owned nuclear firm that has held talks previously about building nuclear plants in Argentina, also declined to comment.
