Mr Putin’s message read, in particular:

“Our peoples have been bound by feelings of friendship, trust and mutual respect for many decades now. It is pleasing to see that Russia and Uruguay continue to hold an active political dialogue today and are expanding their cultural and humanitarian ties. There are good prospects for us to develop our trade and economic cooperation, and the closeness of our foreign policy views opens up new opportunities for close and constructive work together on international and regional affairs, including through MERCOSUR.

I am sure that through our joint efforts, the partnership between Russia and Uruguay will continue to develop dynamically for the benefit of our peoples and in the interests of greater stability and security in Latin America and throughout the world as a whole.“
