Embassy of Uruguay in Australia

During the event, Uruguay’s stall became a vibrant space for connection and the promotion of our national identity. Through tastings of Uruguayan wines, including our emblematic Tannat variety, as well as dulce de leche, and the sharing of our traditional mate culture, visitors were able to experience the flavours, traditions and values that characterise Uruguay.

The stand had the honour of welcoming David Smith MP, Member of the Australian Federal Parliament; Peter Cain MLA, Member of the Australian Capital Territory Legislative Assembly (ACT); and Michael Pettersson MLA, ACT Minister, as well as festival organisers, local authorities and numerous members of the public interested in learning more about our country.

Participating in the National Multicultural Festival represented a valuable opportunity to strengthen cultural ties, promote Uruguay in Australia, and reaffirm the country’s commitment to intercultural dialogue and diversity.
