the president of Ecuador Guillermo Lasso arrives Tuesday afternoon to Uruguay, where he will meet his counterpart Luis Lacalle Pou. The Ecuadorian president’s trip is part of a series of official visits to the southern part of South America, where Lasso’s first destination is Argentina.
In the meeting that the leaders of Uruguay and Ecuador will hold, several issues are on the table. One of them is the fight against child malnutrition, promotion of SMEs, the fight against corruption in both countries, trade issues and bilateral cooperation in both nations.
Lasso’s arrival in these latitudes will take place on Sunday, when he meets with Alberto Fernández in Buenos Aires. Meanwhile, the issues to be discussed with the Argentine president are similar to those that Lasso will maintain with the Uruguayan leader. They will talk about security, migrations and the fight against organized crime.
