Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov held talks with his Uruguayan counterpart focused on strengthening ties between the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) and Latin American regional associations, according to a report from Russian state news agency TASS.
The discussions centered on ways the EAEU, a trade bloc that includes Russia and several other post-Soviet states, could deepen cooperation with organizations representing Latin American countries. Such engagement typically covers trade facilitation, economic partnerships and coordination between the two regions on matters of mutual interest.
Beyond the EAEU-focused agenda, the ministers also exchanged views on the broader international situation, TASS reported, without detailing which specific global developments were addressed in that portion of the conversation.
Context
Russia has in recent years sought to expand its diplomatic and economic footprint in Latin America, framing outreach to the region as part of a wider push to diversify partnerships beyond Europe and North America amid strained relations with Western governments. Uruguay, a member of the Mercosur trade bloc, has maintained diplomatic and trade relations with Moscow even as many Western nations have distanced themselves from Russia.
Further details of the meeting, including any concrete agreements or next steps, were not immediately disclosed.
