History

Both Guatemala and Uruguay share a common history in the fact that both nations were once part of the Spanish Empire. During the Spanish colonial period, Guatemala was governed from the Viceroyalty of New Spain in Mexico City while Uruguay was then part of the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata and administered from Buenos Aires. In 1828, Uruguay obtained its independence after the Cisplatine War. In 1841, Guatemala obtained its independence after the dissolution of the Federal Republic of Central America. In March 1907, both nations established diplomatic relations. [1]

Bilateral relations between both nations have taken place primarily in multilateral forums. In November 2006 Guatemalan Vice-President Eduardo Stein attended the 16th Ibero-American Summit in Montevideo. [2] In November 2018 Uruguayan Vice-President Lucía Topolansky paid a visit to Antigua, Guatemala to attend the 26th Ibero-American Summit. [3]

President-elect of Guatemala Bernardo Arévalo was born on 7 October 1958 in Montevideo, Uruguay, the son of Juan José Arévalo, the former President of Guatemala between 1945 and 1951, and his second wife, Margarita de León. At the time of Arévalo's birth, his father was living in political exile in South America following the 1954 Guatemalan coup d'état. [4]
