This article aims to explore the development of diplomatic relations between the cuban revolutionary government and the argentine de facto government between 1976 and 1983. Most of the works that have addressed the foreign relations of the Cuban revolution during the period of the cold war have focused their attention on the analysis of the United States-Cuba dispute, or on the Cuba-USSR and Cuba-Africa ties, limiting the foreign relations of the caribbean country to the “East-West” confrontation. Precisely, the exploratory study presented here allows us to endorse the pragmatic nature of cuban foreign policy since 1970, the complex network of ties and relationships that developed in the framework of the cold war in the Latin American region, as well as the importance of relations with Cuba for the argentine dictatorship.
