Uruguay's Foreign Minister, Mario Lubetkin, voiced concerns about the increasing number of conflicts worldwide, calling for enhanced collaboration with India on global peacekeeping missions. As countries offering significant contributions to peacekeeping, both sub-nations face the need for greater cooperation and recognition of their hefty commitments.

Lubetkin stressed that despite Uruguay's historical peacefulness, the surge in global conflicts necessitates a unified response. Highlighting past efforts, he called for improved coordination with India to effectively advocate and leverage their shared peacekeeping missions. The joint effort, he noted, would provide a stronger regional and international voice for peace.

The minister also discussed the unique status of Latin America as a conflict-free region without nuclear weapons, emphasizing Uruguay's commitment, as CELAC's chair, to maintain this stance.
