• Argentine communication is expressive and often direct. Greetings frequently include cheek kissing in major cities (a light sound on the right and left cheeks, common among women, and sometimes between men departing), or handshaking. While social appointments may be flexible, business meetings require punctuality. Visitors should handle sensitive topics, such as the Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas) or Argentine political history, with care, and avoid using symbols associated with rival countries.
