At her meeting with Juan Castillo, Nguyet respectfully invited the ruling Broad Front (Frente Amplio – FA) coalition and the Communist Party of Uruguay to send a delegation to attend Vietnam’s celebrations marking the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution (August 19) and National Day (September 2).

Castillo highlighted the historical significance and enduring value of the founding of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, which marked the beginning of a new era for the Vietnamese people. He also praised the country’s remarkable political, economic, and social achievements over the past eight decades, particularly the progress made in the 40 years of implementing its Doi moi (Renewal) policy.
Both sides affirmed their determination to further advance the strong ties between the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV), the Communist Party of Uruguay, and the FA, contributing to the broader development of the Uruguay - Vietnam relations.
Meeting with Csukasi, Nguyet expressed her hope that the two countries would continue promoting delegation exchanges, enhancing coordination, and supporting each other at multilateral and regional forums such as the United Nations, Southern Common Market (MERCOSUR), Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), and Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP). She also called for the early launching of negotiations on a MERCOSUR–Vietnam free trade agreement.

Csukasi said that she is scheduled to visit Vietnam in mid-August and will attend the fifth political consultation between the two foreign ministries.
During the working trip, Nguyet also attended and delivered a speech at the advanced political theory course of the Communist Party of Uruguay, highlighting Vietnam’s socio-economic development achievements and recent foreign policy priorities.
She also visited the construction site of the “Vietnam space” on Jose Pedro Varela Avenue in Montevideo. The administration of Montevideo hopes that the space will serve as a lasting tribute to late Vietnamese President Ho Chi Minh, who visited the country in 1912 during his journey to find a path to national salvation.
