Circular Note Nr. 17/2025 - Greeting from Foreign Minister Mario Lubetkin to Uruguayans Residing Abroad
Informes

Dear compatriots around the world,
At this time of celebration and challenging renewal, I wish to extend to you my warmest greetings on behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the entire team that makes it up, and in my own name.
This has been my first year at the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and therefore a time of listening, learning, and deep commitment to the Uruguayan women and men who reside around the world. Along this path, I have reaffirmed that distance does not weaken but rather strengthens the bond with the land that defines and unites us.
We know that these dates hold special meaning, particularly for those who are far from home. For this reason, I wish to express the recognition and gratitude of the Uruguayan State for the lasting connection you maintain with the country, for your attachment to our traditions, and for the valuable contribution you make day by day.
At the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, we work with the conviction that Uruguay is one and the same, within and beyond its borders. This work is built on the effort and vocation for service of committed teams in Uruguay and in every Mission and Consulate around the world, to accompany, listen to, and serve each compatriot with closeness and respect.
On these dates, we renew our efforts to improve consular services and expand channels of communication in order to consolidate a Ministry that is approachable, modern, and inclusive.
I wish to convey my best wishes to you, your families, and loved ones for these festivities and for the year that begins, with health, hope, and new shared projects.
With my enduring affection,
Ministry of Foreign Affairs
