Some of Argentina’s largest creditors flew to Buenos Aires for talks with Alberto Fernandez’s government, even as the global coronavirus outbreak forced counterparts to cancel trips.

Representatives from BlackRock Inc., Pacific Investment Management Co. and Ashmore Group Plc met with Economy Minister Martin Guzman this week, according to people familiar with the matter. Guzman also huddled with billionaire hedge fund manager David Martinez, the founder of Fintech Advisory Inc., as well as an investor from Gramercy Funds Management, the people said.
