Chinese President Xi Jinping and Uruguayan President Yamandu Orsi met in Beijing, emphasizing the importance of advancing an equal, multipolar world. The leaders highlighted inclusive economic globalization and building a community with a shared future for mankind. Orsi’s visit marks the first South American state visit since the January U.S. intervention in Venezuela.
During the visit, China and Uruguay signed 12 cooperation agreements covering trade, science, technology, environmental protection, meat exports, and intellectual property.
