Uruguay has formalized its relationship with the Palestinian government and has indicated it will be represented at a mission in Ramallah.
President Jose Mujica confirmed that Uruguay had recognized the Palestinian State and said bilateral relations were now in place.
The announcement made at the sixteenth congress of Ferab, the Federation of Arab entities in Latin America, took place in Montevideo last week.
Addressing the gathering, the president said Uruguay's culture of tolerance and integration also involved a philosophy "for which we also need to trade."
Mujica said Uruguay was merely recognizing a fact of reality on formalizing relations with the Palestinian state.
The Uruguayan Foreign Affairs ministry later said that president Mujica’s announcement only made official what was signed last April by the Foreign Affairs ministers from Uruguay and the Palestinian Authority to formalize "existing friendly relations between both sides."
