Bilateral Relations

Uruguay and Canada established diplomatic relations in January 1951. Relations between the two countries have widened in the last 65 years, especially after Uruguay's return to democracy in 1985. Uruguay is represented in Canada by the Uruguayan Embassy in Ottawa, where a Consular Section also operates. There are also two General Consulates of Uruguay in Canada in the cities of Montreal and Toronto.
