History
Both countries established diplomatic relations immediately after Uruguay's independence in 1825.[3] Paramount to Uruguay's constitution as a state was the Preliminary Peace Convention of 1828, a piece of British diplomacy.
The UK played an important role in Uruguay's history until the end of World War II, after which the United States played an increasing role.
In 2022, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson invited Uruguayan President Luis Lacalle Pou to talks at Downing Street. The two met on May 23 and discussed deepening trade ties and removing trade barriers, as well as Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine. They also discussed security ties.[4]
