History

Both Honduras and Uruguay share a common history in the fact that both nations were once part of the Spanish Empire. During the Spanish colonial period, Honduras 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, Honduras obtained its independence after the dissolution of the Federal Republic of Central America. On 11 January 1929 both nations established diplomatic relations. [1]

Bilateral relations between both nations have taken place primarily in multilateral forums. In November 2006, Honduran President Manuel Zelaya attended the 16th Ibero-American Summit in Montevideo. [2] In June 2009, President Zelaya was removed from power in a coup d'état. As a result, the Uruguayan government condemned the coup and lowered diplomatic relations with the interim Honduran government led by acting President Roberto Micheletti. In June 2011, Uruguay re-established full diplomatic relations with the Honduran government with the return of Zelaya back to Honduras from exile in the Dominican Republic. [3]

In July 2013, Honduran President Porfirio Lobo Sosa paid a visit to Uruguay and met with President José Mujica. [4]
