Santiago Peña’s global quest: strengthening Paraguay’s relations with the UAE and Taiwan
Paraguay’s president-elect, Santiago Peña, has embarked on a significant international trip to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Taiwan.
This journey underscores the importance of these relationships to Paraguay.
In Taiwan, Peña will meet with President Tsai Ing-wen, who he referred to as a “great friend”.
The visit is seen as an affirmation of Paraguay’s continued support for Taiwan amidst the often tense diplomatic climate due to China’s opposing stance.
