Fernando Pereira said the Broad Front hopes to expand cooperation with the Communist Party of Vietnam and is considering signing a cooperation document. He also said he hopes to welcome high-level Vietnamese delegations to Uruguay soon. Ngô Minh Nguyệt said Vietnam’s Party and state leaders and local governments want to strengthen cooperation with Uruguay. She added that the two sides still have considerable potential for cooperation, which should be developed further through specific projects.

On trade and economic matters, Ngô Minh Nguyệt said Vietnam is actively pursuing negotiations with Mercosur on a preferential trade agreement and supports Uruguay’s accession to the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership. She said these cooperation mechanisms could promote trade and investment between the two countries.

Fernando Pereira said the Broad Front was founded in 1971, governed for three consecutive terms from 2005 to 2020, and returned to power in 2025. He said the Broad Front government continues to prioritize programs to reduce poverty and improve people’s lives.
