Poland–Uruguay relations are foreign relations between Poland and Uruguay. Neither country has a resident ambassador. Both nations are members of the United Nations.

## History

[edit]

In 1847, Polish diplomat Alexandre Colonna-Walewski paid a visit to Uruguay during a visit to South America.[1] The first Polish migrants to Uruguay arrived in the mid-19th century.[1] In the years before World War I, Uruguay received working-class migrants from Poland.[2]

Diplomatic relations between Poland and Uruguay were established on 22 July 1920. Soon afterwards, Polish envoy Count Ksawery Franciszek Orłowski presented his credentials to the Uruguayan President Baltasar Brum.[3] Between 1922 and 1936 the Polish diplomatic legation in Buenos Aires was accredited for relations with Uruguay.[4]

During World War II, César Montero Bustamante was put in-charge of on behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Uruguay for relations with the Polish government-in-exile in London.[5] Soon after the war, relations between both nations steadily improved. In 1995, former Polish President Lech Wałęsa paid a visit to Uruguay.[6] In 2002, Uruguayan Foreign Minister Didier Opertti paid an official visit to Poland and met with Polish President Aleksander Kwaśniewski.[7] In 2006, Uruguayan Foreign Minister Belela Herrera paid a visit to Poland.[8] In 2007, Polish Foreign Minister Witold Waszczykowski paid a visit to Uruguay.[9]

In 2010, Poland and Uruguay celebrated 90 years of diplomatic relations.[1] In 2021, Uruguay closed its embassy in Warsaw due to budget restraints.[10]

## Agreements
