In the framework of the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Uruguay and China, on Wednesday 31, the Minister of Industry, Energy and Mining, Carolina Cosse, will lead a delegation to China to promote cooperation in information and communication technologies. The head of Uruguay XXI, Antonio Carámbula, told the Presidency of the Republic's website that another purpose of the mission is to attract investment in the sector.

 

The delegation will return on Tuesday 6 February. The mission is composed of Carámbula, the president of the Uruguayan Chamber of Information Technology (Cuti), Leonardo Loureiro, representatives of 25 companies in the sector and the head of the Uruguay-China Chamber of Commerce, Gabriel Rozman.

 

The main objective of the trip is the promotion of trade and investment, as well as visits to major technology companies in the cities of Shenzhen, Canton province, and the Chinese capital, Beijing.

 

There will also be meetings with the China International Trade Promotion Agency (CCPIT) and meetings with Chinese business people from both cities. The agenda includes contacts with national and regional official bodies. In addition, the minister will give two seminars.

 

«Es la primera misión que se realiza este año a China en el marco de los 30 años del establecimiento de las relaciones diplomáticas entre ambos países y luego de la reciente visita del canciller chino Wang Yi», señaló Carámbula en diálogo con la Secretaría de Comunicación Institucional. China insiste en la posibilidad de firmar un acuerdo de libre comercio con Uruguay.

 

«China es el principal socio comercial de Uruguay en materia de bienes. El 28 % del total de bienes fueron hacia ese destino en 2017 y nuestro país es uno de los más importantes exportadores cárnicos a China. Tenemos mucho para crecer en materia de servicios tradicionales, como el turismo y la logística, y también en servicios globales», analizó Carámbula. Ambos países tienen un acuerdo de asociación estratégica vigente desde 2016.
