Bolstering ties with India, Uruguay’s envoy in New Delhi has endorsed the planned Indian embassy in Montevideo and lauded PM Narendra Modi’s global stature. Alberto Antonio Guani Amrilla called Modi a powerhouse leader advocating for developing nations worldwide.
Speaking candidly, the ambassador reflected on the 75-year-old diplomatic history, now poised for fresh momentum. The new embassy, expected by year-end, could see a high-profile inauguration with EAM S. Jaishankar’s presence.
‘We are discovering new ways to come together,’ Amrilla remarked, pointing to eased visa norms for Indians as a priority. Talks on this are lined up for March’s political dialogue in the capital.
Diplomatic infrastructure includes Uruguay’s full embassy here and a Mumbai consulate, while India leverages its Buenos Aires mission concurrently. On India’s UNSC ambitions, Uruguay stands firm: back permanent membership, reject additional vetoes.
Amrilla’s praise for Modi’s grasp of Global South issues highlights shared values. As both nations eye expanded trade—especially in agriculture, pharma, and tech—these gestures signal a vibrant partnership ahead, fostering economic growth and strategic alignment in a multipolar world.
