Cuba-Uruguay relations

Cuba
Uruguay

Cuba has an embassy in Montevideo.[2] Uruguay has an embassy in Havana.[3]

Historically, both countries were part of the Spanish Empire until the early 19th century (although Cuba kept its status as a Spanish colony for a longer time). Nowadays, both countries are full members of the Rio Group, of the Latin Union, of Latin American Integration Association, of the Association of Academies of the Spanish Language, of the Organization of Ibero-American States and of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States.

Cuba is becoming a significant trading partner of Uruguay.[4]

In 2020, the new right-wing president of Uruguay, Luis Lacalle Pou, broke with Uruguay's previous foreign policy, declaring the presidents of Venezuela and Cuba to be "dictators". The left-wing leaders of Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela had not been invited at his the inauguration ceremony. [5]
