In the late 19th century, the first wave of [[Romanian Argentine|Romanians]] began migrating to Argentina, many from parts of Romania that were part of the [[Austria-Hungary|Austro-Hungarian Empire]] and from Russian controlled territory.<ref name=Migration>[https://ift.tt/2KQnMMV Inmigración rumana (in Spanish)]</ref> Among the migrants were Jewish and [[Romani people|Roma]] (Gypsy) minority groups from Romania who also migrated to Argentina.<ref name=Migration /> The first official contact between Argentina and Romania took place in 1880. Diplomatic relations were established between both nations on 24 April 1931.<ref name=Relations>[https://ift.tt/2Wm3iks MFA hails celebration of 85 years of Romanian-Argentine diplomatic relations]</ref>

During [[World War II]], the arrival of the largest number of Romanian migrants to Argentina took place due to Nazi persecution and Soviet communist ideology in Romania.<ref name=Migration /> In March 1964, both nations resident diplomatic legations were upgraded to embassies.<ref name=Relations /> In March 1974, Romanian President [[Nicolae Ceaușescu]] paid an official visit to Argentina and met with President [[Juan Perón]]. After the fall of [[Socialist Republic of Romania|Communism in Romania]] in 1989, Romanians were allowed to move freely without state permission.

In March 1993, Argentine Foreign Minister, [[Guido di Tella]], while on an official visit to [[Hungary]] stated that Argentina was capable of receiving European immigrants.<ref name=Invasion>[https://ift.tt/3bZUsiX La invasión rumana que no fue (in Spanish)]</ref> The next day, the Argentine Ambassador to Romania, published a request in the local media reporting on the initiative based on the statement from the Foreign Minister, and the following day 6,000 Romanians were stationed at the door of the Argentine embassy in [[Bucharest]] requesting applications for immigration to Argentina.<ref name=Invasion /> Within a few days, the Argentine embassy received 17,000 applications for immigration, however, many applicants were not able to meet various requirements and had little money to settle in Argentina. When news reached Argentina, many took to the streets protesting the possible waive of Romanian migrants coming to Argentina and many feared that the migrants would occupy jobs that did not exist or for locals.<ref name=Invasion /> In July 1993, Romanian President [[Ion Iliescu]] paid a visit to Argentina and met with President [[Carlos Menem]] to discuss possible Romanian immigration to Argentina.<ref>[https://ift.tt/2xtcuuV Cronología de la Political Exterior Argentina (in Spanish)]</ref> In the end, only a few hundred Romanians were granted visas to immigrate to Argentina.<ref name=Invasion />

Throughout the years, there have been numerous high-level visits between leaders and foreign ministers of both nations. Cooperation ties between Argentina and Romania have been increased by identifying sectors that are conducive to the implementation of specific projects. Both nations have a solid legal basis to promote commercial, economic, investments, science and technology, culture and education between each other. In 2016, both nations celebrated 85 years of diplomatic relations.<ref name=Relations />
