The Prime Minister expressed confidence that Uruguay will continue on the path of economic development, human rights protection, and the strengthening of democracy.
The large Armenian community in Uruguay also plays a significant role in deepening the cooperation between our countries. I would like to express my readiness to work together and enrich our bilateral agenda for the well-being of our friendly peoples and countries, – this was stated in the message.

Uruguay was the first country to officially recognize the Armenian Genocide in 1965 and condemn Turkey’s policies. More than 1% of Uruguay’s 3 million population is of Armenian descent.
