Last two programs will broadcast on Tuesday, July 19 and Monday, July 25.
Sponsored by the U.S.
Embassy in Montevideo, the Uruguayan cable network VTV will
broadcast a series on bilateral relations between the two
countries beginning on Monday, July 4, at 8 pm.
A team of Uruguayan journalists traveled
to the United States in order to interview Uruguayans and
Americans working in areas linked to bilateral relations.
To that effect, VTV journalists Jorge García Alberti
and Sebastián Ferrín visited the cities of
New York, Dallas, Seattle and Washington DC accompanied
by the U.S. Embassy's Information Specialist in Montevideo
Rubek Orlando.
The series will feature interviews with
key officials such as Roger Noriega, Assistant U.S. Secretary
of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs; U.S. Ambassador
to Uruguay Martin J. Silverstein; and the newly appointed
Uruguayan Ambassador to the United States, Carlos Gianelli.
The TV team also interviewed legislators, entrepreneurs,
teachers, musicians, athletes, students, artists and writers.
The series will air every Monday in July at 8 pm.
This project was made possible by the support
of the U.S. Department of State, the Foreign Press Centers
in Washington and New York, and the Voice of America.
