Hailing Egypt-Uruguay relations as “historical”, Quseir noted that there are already many important fields of bilateral cooperation.

In press statements, the minister added that he discussed with the Uruguayan ambassador ways to improve the trade balance between the two countries in a way that serves joint interests of their peoples.
