In 1864, Argentina and the Austro-Hungarian Empire established diplomatic relations. [1] By the early 20th century, a few migrants from Austria had immigrated to Argentina. [2] In 1921, Argentina donated 5 million Argentine pesos to a devastated Austria which had emerged as an independent nation after World War I. In gratitude, Austria named a street in Vienna (Argentinierstraβe). [1] The majority of Austrian migrants who arrived to Argentina arrived in two great migratory waves during the First and Second World Wars. [2]

In October 1994, Argentine President Carlos Menem became the first Argentine head-of-state to pay a visit to Austria. [1] In December 2000, Argentina limited its relations with Austria with regards to the participation of the Alliance for the Future of Austria party led by Jörg Haider who was known for statements in praise of Nazi policies. [3] In 2006, Argentine President Néstor Kirchner paid a visit to Austria to attend the Fourth Latin America, the Caribbean and the European Union Summit in Vienna. In May 2008, Austrian Chancellor Alfred Gusenbauer paid a visit to Argentina. [4] There have since been numerous visits between leaders of both nations.

In 2018, political consultations were held between leading officials of both nations. In 2019, there is a community of approximately 30,000 Austrians residing in Argentina. [5]
