The visit to Vietnam by Paraguayan President Fernando Lugo Mendez will bring the two countries’ ties to a new height to meet their people’s aspiration, the Vietnamese state leader has said.
State President Nguyen Minh Triet made the affirmation during a meeting with the press in Hanoi on March 9 following his talks with the Paraguayan President.
“ Vietnam wants to boost cooperation with Paraguay , especially in agriculture, industry, trade, and investment,” President Triet said.
President Fernando Lugo Mendez, the first-ever Paraguayan president to visit Vietnam , noted that the visit was a valuable chance for Paraguay and Vietnam to further their friendship and cooperation.
Paraguay highly valued the Vietnamese people’s creativeness and capability to overcome difficulties during their national construction and development course, the visiting President said.
He hailed Vietnam ’s dynamism over the past years as well as its role and position in the region and the international arena, emphasising “ Vietnam holds an important position in Paraguay ’s external policy”.
As the current Chair of the Southern Common Market (Mercosur), Paraguay will step up cooperation between the Mercosur and ASEAN to bring benefits to both it and Vietnam , the Paraguayan President said.
The two leaders agreed to continue to deepen the ties between their countries as both share many similarities that can support one another.

In the atmosphere of openness, frankness and mutual understanding, the two leaders showed their unanimity on a wide range of regional and international issues of mutual concern.
