BUENOS AIRES, July 7 -- Argentine President Mauricio Macri told his G20 counterparts on Friday that his country had "put its economy in order" since he took power in December 2015.

"We are doing what needs to be done to put the country on a sustainable path," said Macri, adding that the positive results can already be seen...to generate a long-term sustainable economy.

Macri made the remarks at the annual G20 summit, currently being held in the German port city of Hamburg.

"The second quarter was the fourth consecutive of growth and we are confident of ending the year at a growth rate of three percent or more," the president said.

"We put the economy in order, we avoided a crisis and we rapidly put in place the most ambitious infrastructure plan in our history," Macri said.

Macri remarked that "the sustainable path can only be built in a more integrated international economy."

Argentina will take over the rotating presidency of the G20 from December 1 and will host the next summit in Buenos Aires in July 2018. E
