The Argentine Film Week opened here for the first time on Friday evening to introduce Argentina's people, culture and other aspects to Vietnamese audience.

Argentine cartoon, comedy and romance films are being screened at Cinebox cinema in Ho Chi Minh City's District 3 from Friday to Saturday free of charge.

Vietnam and Argentina established diplomatic relations in 1973. Their two-way trade is predicted to surge to some 3 billion U.S. dollars this year from nearly 2.5 billion U.S. dollars last year.
