Foreign relations of Paraguay

Foreign relations of Paraguay

Paraguay is a member of the United Nations and several of its specialized agencies. It also belongs to the Organization of American States, the Latin American Integration Association (ALADI), the Rio Group, INTERPOL and MERCOSUR (the Southern Cone Common Market). Its foreign policy has followed closely the Rio Group’s lead on many issues of wideranging political importance.

Paraguay recognizes the Republic of China on Taiwan instead of the People's Republic of China.

A military training agreement with Asunción, giving immunity to US soldiers, caused some concern after media reports initially reported that a base housing 20,000 US soldiers was being built at Mariscal Estigarribia within 200 km of Argentina and Bolivia, and 300 km of Brazil, near an airport which could receive large planes (B-52, C-130 Hercules, etc.) which the Paraguan Air Forces do not have.
