Bolivia–Uruguay relations are foreign relations between Bolivia and Uruguay. Bolivia has an embassy in Montevideo.[1] Uruguay has an embassy in La Paz[2] and 2 consulates in Santa Cruz de la Sierra and Cochabamba.[3]

Historically, both countries were part of the Spanish Empire (Viceroyalty of the River Plate) until the early 19th century. Both countries are full members of the Rio Group, of the Latin Union, of ALADI, of the Association of Spanish Language Academies, of the Organization of American States, of the Organization of Ibero-American States, of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States, of the Union of South American Nations, and of the Cairns Group.

Bilateral trade and tourism

In 2013, both countries signed an agreement of mutual technical assistance.[4]

In December 2014 Amaszonas started flying between Montevideo and Santa Cruz de la Sierra, a fact that lets expectation grow concerning the presence of Bolivian tourists in Uruguay.[5] There are also arrangements made in order to promote social tourism.[6]
