   The two female presidents of the two largest GDPs in South America met for 5 hours in Buenos Aires.
  For Brasil's new President Dilma Rousseff, her first choice for a visit was not a accidental decision.
    “It was not a casual decision to pick Argentina (and Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner), as my first foreign destination” said Rousseff. “I'm here to promote our nations' relationship and make it stronger than ever in both their commercial, political and cultural ties”.
     They signed agreements over nuclear energy and bio-fuels and trade, including the construction of two hydroelectric dams and cooperation in the development of nuclear research reactors.
