Foreign Policy
Paraguay's foreign policy centres on Mercosur integration, bilateral relationships with its larger neighbours (Brazil and Argentina), and trade expansion for its agricultural exports (soybeans, beef, and grains). It is one of Taiwan's most significant diplomatic allies in South America.
Paraguay's Taiwan recognition means it has no formal relations with China, which limits some economic opportunities but earns Taiwanese development aid and investment. Paraguay has been a consistent voice for democratic governance in the OAS and opposed the Maduro government in Venezuela.
