Communication in Argentina can be passionate. Locals often ask personal questions out of curiosity. Greetings include cheek kissing in large cities (especially among women and between genders) and standard handshakes elsewhere. Discussions concerning the Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas) and the United Kingdom are politically sensitive and should be approached with caution or avoided.

About this holiday

Veteran's Day commemorates the 1982 Falklands War (Malvinas War), an armed conflict between Argentina and the United Kingdom over the Falkland Islands and surrounding territories. The war began in April 1982 and resulted in casualties among military personnel from Argentina, the UK, and the Falkland Islands.
