Matos recently visited China and visited more than ten provinces and cities, deeply realizing the enormous potential for cooperation between the two countries in the field of agriculture, animal husbandry, and fishery, especially in the field of agriculture, animal husbandry, and technology.
He said that Uruguay is an important food producing country in the world and an important trading partner of China. In recent years, China has become Uruguay's largest trading partner. According to official data from Ukraine, in 2022, Ukraine's exports to China accounted for about 30% of its total exports. Matos pointed out that "Uruguay is a reliable partner of China.

It can and is willing to become a trustworthy and reliable food supplier to China
Matos is full of confidence and expectation for the future cooperation in agriculture and animal husbandry between Ukraine and China. Last year, Uruguay's exports to China reached a historic high, with agricultural and animal husbandry products accounting for a large proportion. Matos believes that in the future, there is great potential for cooperation between Ukraine and China in areas such as food security, new technologies in agriculture and animal husbandry, and agricultural product processing. He stated that the cooperation between Ukraine and China in improving breeding varieties has achieved significant results. Uruguay hopes to introduce Chinese agricultural product processing technology and equipment in the future to increase the added value of its agricultural products.
Matos is about to accompany Uruguayan President Racalle on his visit to China. He expressed his expectation that this visit can promote the cooperation between agriculture and animal husbandry in Ukraine and China to a higher level.
Matos spoke highly of China's "the Belt and Road" initiative. He said that the "the Belt and Road" initiative has promoted trade growth, improved infrastructure and shortened the distance between Uzbekistan and China. He said that in today's world, frequent regional conflicts, global public health events and other uncertain factors have a negative impact on the global supply chain, while China's relevant initiatives and practical actions have injected stability into the global supply chain.
