Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing-wen arrived in Paraguay on Aug. 14 for a visit that has brought into focus how the continuing trade war between China and the United States will have a major impact on Paraguay.
Tsai met with both current President Horacio Cartes and president-elect Mario Abdo Benitez after her arrival in Paraguay’s capital, Asuncion. Tsai and Cartes attended a ceremony to mark the opening of a local university that was jointly established by the two countries, and on Aug. 15, Tsai is scheduled to attend Benitez’s presidential inauguration ceremony.
