BEIJING: China and Uruguay should should work together to advance an “equal and orderly multipolar world,” President Xi Jinping told his counterpart Yamandu Orsi on Tuesday, according to a media pool report.
Orsi’s visit is the first by a South American leader to the Chinese capital since the United States invaded Venezuela in January and captured then President Nicolas Maduro in a raid.
China and Uruguay should “work together to advance an equal and orderly multipolar world and an inclusive, universally beneficial economic globalization,” Xi said in his remarks, aiming to build a community with a shared future for mankind.
The meeting comes in the wake of a flurry of visits to China by Western leaders this year, from Britain’s Prime Minister Keir Starmer to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Finland’s Prime Minister Petteri Orpo.
Orsi said his visit aimed to “empower Uruguay in the world and generate opportunities, investment and development” in a Facebook comment on Sunday, following his arrival in Beijing.
