Within the framework of the Conference: MERCOSUR countries and their relation with Asian markets: strategies for the global integration, held on 12 November 2024, organized by UCU Business School, Department of Economy of FCS-UDELAR, and Programa Pharos de la ACADECO, Juan Labraga (Ministerio de Economía y Finanzas - Uruguay) presented a detailed panorama of the current state of trade agreements of the MERCOSUR and the negotiation processes with Asia. In addition to analyzing the challenges faced by the bloc in a context of growing global competitiveness, he highlighted the need to improve the internal coordination and strengthen the regional strategic view.
