Uruguay’s image strengthened by visit to China, Foreign Minister says

Montevideo, Feb 14 (Prensa Latina) Uruguay's image was strengthened by President Yamandú Orsi's visit to China, Foreign Minister Mario Lubetkin stated.

In a lengthy press interview, he referred to the final declaration adopted by both governments.

He also mentioned the thirty or so agreements reached, some of which “are very specific,” he told the newspaper La Diaria.

He highlighted the confirmation of the 300,000-ton quota for Uruguayan beef in the China’s market, a growth of more than 50%.

He also mentioned the entry of a novel form of poultry “with different guarantee mechanisms.”

He noted that the first shipment of Uruguayan sport horses will arrive in China in the coming months, an unprecedented event. The fact that we will be working on the joint development of a tick vaccine with our Chinese friends is a matter of great importance to us, he noted.

He also mentioned the possibility of collaborating in some technical and scientific laboratories and other academic advancements, including the exchange of scholarships.

“Many businesspeople joined us and held numerous meetings. If we judge the level of satisfaction among private sector businesspeople during the trip, it’s clear that many agreements must have been finalized,” he added.

The Foreign Minister praised the composition of the Uruguayan delegation, which included high-ranking government officials, business leaders, mayors, academics, and union representatives, among other representatives of the South American country.

Lubetkin emphasized the hospitality shown by the Chinese authorities to his country’s delegation, particularly by President Orsi.
