(Central News Agency reporter Yang Yao-ju, Taipei 7th) Paraguayan President Santiago Peña, a diplomatic ally, visited Taiwan today. In an exclusive interview with CNA, he revealed that during his transit through the United States on his way to Taiwan, he met with Honduran President Nasry Asfura. He strongly recommended that Asfura consider the partnership between Paraguay and Taiwan; Asfura also showed great interest in the cooperation experiences between Paraguay and Taiwan.

Peña arrived in Taiwan early this morning and posted on social media that he had met with Asfura while transiting through Los Angeles to attend the Milken Institute Global Conference.

Peña revealed that this was his second meeting with Asfura. During their first meeting, they discussed the excellent relationship between Paraguay and Taiwan. This time, he told Asfura that he would visit Taiwan to strengthen bilateral relations and reiterated Paraguay's determination to work hand in hand with Taiwan.
