One of the points highlighted by the Ambassador maintains that the benefits of cooperation with China are highlighted when not presenting any type of sales restriction to our country for any of its aeronautical components. In addition to the meeting with CATIC, during the Zhuhai
Aerospace Exhibition , the Ambassador held meetings with, for example, the Chinese state company NORINCO, for
the acquisition of 8×8 armored vehicles , highly requested by the
Argentine Army .
During the past month of November, offers were made available by Norinco,
with which to reposition the VN-1 within the competition to provide the Argentine Army with an Armored Wheeled Combat Vehicle . The proposal reportedly detailed the local assembly options and versions to be supplied of VN-1.
Hand in hand with these meetings, the installation of a plant in which Bei Ben armored vehicles and civil transport trucks can be produced nationally is also planned.
