Opening the meeting, Deputy Head of MNCCI Sarandavaa Myanganbuu remarked that it has been over 20 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between Mongolia and Uruguay and highlighted the extended opportunities for bilateral cooperation on transportation and logistics.
Mr. Fernando Cabral marked the similarities of population and agriculture-based economy of the two countries and noted the potentials for cooperation. Uruguay is one of the major meat and meat products exporters in the world, which account for 12 percent of the country’s export. The main export markets for Uruguay are Brazil, the U.S, the People’s Republic of China, Russian Federation and Turkey, highlighted Mr. Cabral.
Aside from meat, soybeans, forestry and dairy products are also considered the main export items. The country recently started providing trade, business and telecommunication technologies, as well as financial services to developed countries. Powdered milk account for 58 percent of Uruguay’s dairyproduction, while cheese production forms 25 percent; thus, the country expressed its interest in cooperating with Mongolia on cheese production.

They also lead the democracy index, transparency and equality indicators in Latin American region. In addition, the two countries signed a visa-free agreement in April allowing for 30-day visa-free travel for visitors from each other's countries, which came into force on June 1.
