Uruguayan President Yamandú Orsi found a slice of Montevideo in Beijing this week during his official visit! 🌍 A cozy South American-style restaurant rolled out the red carpet with a curated Uruguayan menu, featuring premium asado-style beef cuts and yerba mate tea—paired with a side of national pride.
Orsi shared snaps on social media, including a signed Uruguayan national football jersey displayed at the venue. His message? 💬 "This jersey and this restaurant are proof of what we Uruguayans are capable of." Talk about flexing cultural diplomacy goals! ⚽
Behind the delicious bites lies a beefy economic story: Uruguay’s beef exports—3% of its GDP—are thriving in China, one of its top markets. With demand for quality meat soaring, this culinary connection is more than just a meal—it’s a trade lifeline. 📈
