In brief: Ecuador’s Lasso highlights possible trade agreement with Uruguay

* Ecuador’s President Guillermo Lasso has met with Uruguay’s President Luis Alberto Lacalle Pou in Uruguay’s capital Montevideo, where he raised the possibility of a bilateral trade agreement between the two countries. “I believe that the economies of Uruguay and Ecuador are complementary,” Lasso said. “Uruguay doesn’t produce what Ecuador produces, and vice versa.
