Foreign Policy
Uruguay's foreign policy emphasises multilateralism, international law, democratic governance, and regional integration through Mercosur. It positions itself as an honest broker and neutral mediator in South American disputes.
Uruguay has pursued trade diversification beyond Mercosur, seeking bilateral agreements with China and other partners, which has sometimes created tensions within the bloc. It is a strong supporter of UN peacekeeping, the ICC, and human rights institutions.
