URUGUAY: Looking east ever more wistfully
President José Mujica conducted the longest foreign tour of his whole term at the end of May, the main focus of which was China. While Mujica was away his vice-president, Danilo Astori, made a compelling case for Uruguay breaking free of at least some of the fetters of the Southern Common Market (Mercosur) and fully enlisting in the Pacific Alliance, the nascent trade and integration bloc comprising Chile, Colombia, Peru and Mexico, which is focused on reaching out to the Asia-Pacific region and complements Uruguay’s openness to free trade much more than Mercosur.
