In 1975, Isabel Martínez de Perón, already president, received a commission of North Korean children at the Quinta de Olivos. During the National Reorganization Process, diplomatic relations between the two countries were severed.[2]
After the return to democracy in Argentina, there were small rapprochements in the 1990s during the presidency of Carlos Menem. Argentina supported North Korea's entry into the United Nations and North Korea was in favor of the bid for the Olympic Games in the city of Buenos Aires.
