Bilateral relations between both nations have taken place primarily in multilateral forums. In November 2006, Honduran President Manuel Zelaya attended the 16th Ibero-American Summit in Montevideo.[2] In June 2009, President Zelaya was removed from power in a coup d'état. As a result, the Uruguayan government condemned the coup and lowered diplomatic relations with the interim Honduran government led by acting President Roberto Micheletti. In June 2011, Uruguay re-established full diplomatic relations with the Honduran government with the return of Zelaya back to Honduras from exile in the Dominican Republic.[3]
Both nations have signed a few agreements such as a Reciprocity Agreement for the Elimination of Visas in Diplomatic, Official, Special and Ordinary Passports (1982); Cultural Agreement (1988); Agreement of Academic Cooperation between both nations respective Ministry's of Foreign Affairs (2013); Agreement for Economic, Scientific and Technical Cooperation (2013); and a Memorandum of Understanding for the Establishment of a Political Consultation Mechanism (2013).[5]
