Шаблон:Infobox bilateral relations Angola and Uruguay are members of the Group of 77 and the United Nations.
History
Angola and Uruguay established diplomatic relations on 26 March 1988.[1] Initial relations between both nations were limited and took place mainly at the United Nations and through South–South cooperation.
In 2014, Uruguay opened its first resident embassy in Luanda.[2] The decision to open the embassy was to strengthen the bilateral relations that have deepened in the last decade driven by the mutual interest shown by both governments and since the establishment of some Angolan direct investments in the production sector of Uruguay.[2] In January 2017, Angola opened a consulate-general in Montevideo.[3]
In February 2019 Uruguayan Foreign Minister, Rodolfo Nin Novoa, paid a visit to Angola.[4] During his visit, Foreign Minister Novoa met with Angolan President João Lourenço and both nations signed numerous bilateral agreements and discussed business and the increase of investments between both nations.[4]
In 2021, Uruguay closed its embassy in Luanda due to budget restraints.[5]
