The Uruguayan government on Monday signed a memorandum of understanding with the United Kingdom to deepen bilateral dialogue and advance cooperation in the aerospace, infrastructure, and digital innovation sectors, in a new step in the rapprochement between the two countries initiated with the visit of Economy and Finance Minister Gabriel Oddone to London in February. The agreement, valid for at least the next four years, was signed between the Uruguayan Ministry of Economy and Finance and the British Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office.
“This agreement is in line with the strategic objectives set out by President Yamandú Orsi, focused on commercial openness and mutual cooperation with relevant actors in every region of the world,” Oddone said after the signing. The minister emphasized the importance of “exchanging capabilities and experiences in key areas” and called for “generating new investment and development opportunities for the country.” British Ambassador in Uruguay Mal Green said for his part that the meeting with Oddone in London “allowed us to identify real opportunities for joint work in key sectors for economic growth,” and underscored that the memorandum “creates a framework for continuing to develop cooperation between our countries.”
