Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said on June 5 that improving travel facilitation between China and Uruguay will help enhance mutual understanding between the two peoples and promote exchanges and cooperation.
Mao made the remarks after Uruguayan Foreign Minister Mario Lubetkin announced on June 4 that the South American country will grant visa-free entry to Chinese citizens.
China has extended its 240-hour visa-free transit policy and Hainan's 30-day visa-free entry policy to citizens of Kyrgyzstan and Vietnam, the National Immigration Administration said on Aug 20.
