International


Uruguay's president-elect Yamandu Orsi reiterated his controversial position on Venezuela during a press conference on Wednesday, saying his country must respect diplomatic relations in place and breaking precedent for recent leaders of the small South American nation.

Orsi who takes office in March following his Nov.24 victory for the center-left, said he would decide "in the moment" whether to invite Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro to his inauguration who has become increasingly insolated in the region, following a disputed July election.
