Li, chairman of the Standing Committee of the Chinese National People's Congress, met with Luis Hierro, acting president of Uruguay hours before his departure. He also held talks with Alejandro Archugarry Bonomi, acting president of the National Congress, as well as other senior lawmakers.
Li was warmly received by the Uruguayan hosts, and both sides reached a broad range of consensuses during their talks relating to bilateral relations, trade and economic cooperation, and international and regional issues of common concern.
