Uruguayan Mexicans are people born in Uruguay who live in Mexico, or Mexico-born people of Uruguayan descent.
There are many Uruguay-born persons living in Mexico for a number of reasons. Both countries share the Spanish language, the historical origins of both nations is common (part of the Spanish Empire until the early 19th century), Mexico has a much bigger economy which attracted Uruguayans in search of opportunities, and, from the political point of view, during the civic-military dictatorship of Uruguay (1973-1985) ideological affinity made Mexico attractive as an exile destination for Uruguayans.
Uruguayans living in Mexico have their own institutions such as the Consultative Councils in Mexico City, Cancun, Puebla, and Toluca.[2]
