BUENOS AIRES (AFP) – Argentine President Cristina Kirchner starts an official three-day visit to India on Wednesday with a trade mission and plans to sign bilateral accords, the foreign ministry said Sunday.

Kirchner, who set out on her trip late Saturday, was due to meet with her Indian counterpart Pratibha Devisingh Patil and with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

The Argentine president, who plans to visit New Delhi and Mumbai, also will meet with Vice President Mohammad Hamid Ansari, with the head of the Congress Party and ruling coalition Sonia Gandhi, and leaders of other parties.

More than 50 Argentine companies are taking part in the trade mission side of the trip.

Bilateral trade is now worth 1.2 billion dollars a year, more than double what it was just over five years ago.

India is Argentina's second most important trade partner in Asia after China.
