Panama President Jose Raul Mulino will receive his Uruguayan counterpart Yamandu Orsi.
This meeting marks the beginning of a significant commercial negotiation aimed at enhancing economic relations between Panama and Uruguay.
Orsi’s agenda includes discussions with local entrepreneurs, particularly within the rice sector, highlighting the focus on sectoral collaborations.
Uruguayan Foreign Minister Mario Lubetkin emphasized that this initial interaction could lead to potential agreements that benefit both nations economically.
Uruguay aims to broaden its market access despite its commitments within the Southern Common Market (Mercosur) and seeks to advance the ratification of a Free Trade Agreement with the European Union.
Orsi’s upcoming participation in the CELAC Summit in Tegucigalpa will further underline Uruguay’s commitment to regional cooperation, as Honduras hands over the presidency to Colombia.
The developments in Panama serve as a pivotal step in strengthening Uruguay’s international economic ties.
