VOICED : Paraguay toma fuerza en Mercosur

The presidents of Uruguay and Paraguay met in Montevideo to revitalize their bilateral relations. They discussed their complementary roles as medium-sized countries surrounded by larger nations. Key topics included the Paraguay-Paraná-Uruguay waterway, a deep-water port project in Uruguay, and energy cooperation. Despite not formalizing its reentry, Paraguay is gaining influence in Mercosur and will represent the bloc in trade talks with the EU. Paraguay was suspended from Mercosur last year following a political trial that removed President Fernando Lugo.
