Chinese Vice Premier Ding Xuexiang and Uruguayan Vice President Carolina Cosse pledged to deepen bilateral cooperation during high-level talks this week, emphasizing economic complementarity and shared strategic goals. The discussions highlighted China's commitment to expanding imports of Uruguayan agricultural products while fostering green technology partnerships.
Ding, a senior leader of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, stressed the importance of implementing agreements reached by both nations' heads of state. "Our countries may be geographically distant, but we share converging visions for development," he stated during the meeting in Uruguay.
The dialogue yielded concrete proposals for collaboration:
Increased Chinese investment in Uruguay's agriculture and livestock sectors
Enhanced cooperation in green technology and sustainable industries
Streamlined trade processes for Uruguayan exports to the Chinese mainland
Cosse reaffirmed Uruguay's adherence to the one-China principle, noting: "Friendship with China transcends political divisions in our country." Both leaders emphasized the need for multilateral cooperation amid global economic uncertainties.
The talks concluded with plans to advance five key cooperation programs spanning development, cultural exchange, and regional connectivity. This development comes as China strengthens economic ties across Latin America, with Uruguay positioned as a strategic partner in agricultural trade and green technology initiatives.
