List of Portuguese ambassadors in Uruguay

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The list of Portuguese ambassadors in Uruguay lists the ambassadors of the Republic of Portugal in Uruguay . The countries have had diplomatic relations since 1843, dating back to the Portuguese presence from the early 16th century. A Portuguese representative was first accredited in 1843 in Uruguay's capital Montevideo . At times, Portugal's own representative was not present in the representation in Uruguay; the country then belonged to the administrative district of the Portuguese ambassador to Argentina , especially between 1930 and 1981.
