The paper attempts to explain the 50 years of the political-economy Indonesia-Uruguay diplomatic relations. The study shows that although there are some interests but both countries have not demonstrated yet any significant endeavors to intensify the bilateral relations. The paper found that both have many to offer to strengthen economic cooperation. The paper also found that lessons learned from China and India experiences could be adopted to strengthen Indonesia-Uruguay trade relations. But however there are still pending matters; conventional problems that impeded bilateral trade; and lack of interest by both government officials. The study suggests that this positive momentum and this golden jubilee Indonesia-Uruguay diplomatic relations could be the right moment towards further strengthening the bilateral relations.
