Overview
The Embassy of the Argentine Republic at Lugeck 1-2 in the heart of Vienna's 1st district (Innere Stadt), steps from the Stephansdom and Rotenturmstraße, represents Argentina's interests in Austria and at the international organisations in Vienna. The bilateral relationship is supported by agreements on economic and industrial cooperation (1979), scientific and cultural exchange (1980), investment protection (1992), and air services (2008). Around 30,000 people of Austrian origin live in Argentina — the German-speaking colony in Buenos Aires' Belgrano neighbourhood dates to the 19th century. Tango connects the two capitals: the TU Wien has hosted an Argentine tango society since 2015, and Argentine Tango is UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage since 2009.
