We continue to make dreams come true in Departamento Central! Through the Fonavis program, families from the San Pablo and La Amistad settlements in J. Augusto Saldívar are receiving the keys to their own homes today. We continue promoting actions that transform the quality of life of our fellow citizens.
Translated from SpanishWe continue adding fulfilled dreams in the Central Department! Through the Fonavis program, families from the San Pablo and La Amistad settlements in J. Augusto Saldívar are receiving the keys to their own homes today. We continue promoting actions that transform the quality of life of our fellow citizens.
Translated from SpanishWe have also arrived in Luque with dignified housing! In the Territorio Social 2 de Noviembre, 17 families are already enjoying a home of their own through the Fonavis program. Every house and every step we take is one more step toward the great Paraguay we are building.
Translated from SpanishWe are moving forward in Central with more homes for our fellow citizens, like Doña Graciela from Limpio, who today has the keys to her home in her hands. Those keys represent the beginning of a chapter full of opportunities, and that is our motivation to keep going day after day.
Translated from SpanishParaguay is experiencing a historic moment of expansion. We are presenting the Competitive Intelligence Map, a tool designed to guide production and investment decisions by integrating data on more than 20,700 industries, logistics and energy. We continue to bet on work and growth to consolidate the resurgence of a giant Paraguay.
Translated from SpanishI congratulate Italy’s prime minister, @GiorgiaMeloni, on these four years at the helm of the Italian government and on the achievement of leading the longest-serving government in the history of the Republic. Italy is a brother country, a strategic partner with which we share values, history, and the will to work for the development of our peoples. We will continue firmly strengthening the ties that unite us for the benefit of both countries.
Translated from SpanishToday, Estefanía Laterza de los Ríos was sworn in as our new ambassador to the United States. As a career diplomat, I know she will represent Paraguay with the dignity and commitment that this historic relationship we continue building between our two countries deserves. Best of luck in this new mission!
Translated from SpanishThe world wants to be more connected to the opportunities Paraguay offers. We are celebrating LATAM Paraguay’s 30th anniversary with great news: the launch of the new direct Asunción–Montevideo route and more frequent flights to Lima and São Paulo. When an airline decides to add new flights, it is because our country is awakening ever-growing interest around the world. This opens new doors for tourism and investment and strengthens our international exchange. The Government of Paraguay continues to promote the conditions for the private sector to keep betting on us.
Translated from SpanishI met with Interior Minister Enrique Riera to review our security agenda and assess prevention measures nationwide. We also reviewed the future investments included in the 2027 PGN, earmarked for repairing and improving police stations in the most critical condition—an important step toward improving the conditions in which our security forces work.
Translated from SpanishI met with the MEC minister, Luis Ramírez, to discuss preparations for the 150th anniversary of the emblematic Colegio Nacional de la Capital, the country’s oldest school and the cradle of great leaders. We recently inaugurated major improvements to renew this pillar of our education, and today we are also preparing for the completion of its sports facilities.
Translated from SpanishParaguay today becomes the meeting point for organic agriculture in the Americas. At the inauguration of the XVII Ordinary Annual Assembly of the CIAO and the first International Congress, we reaffirm our potential, with more than 160,000 hectares and 7,500 certified producers demonstrating that our countryside is synonymous with excellence and sustainability. We will continue working with the entire region to transform the efforts of our fellow citizens into more opportunities, development, and well-being for every rural family.
Translated from SpanishParaguayan history on our red soil! Diego Domínguez became the first Paraguayan to win WRC2 at @officialrallypy. A huge joy for an entire country! A triumph that moves us and shows just how far Paraguayan talent can go when it dreams big. Congratulations, Diego! Thank you for making us so happy!
Translated from SpanishOur red earth has once again challenged the best in the world. Congratulations to Sami Pajari and Marko Salminen, WRC champions @officialrallypy. They gave everything on the roads of Itapúa and conquered one of the most demanding events in the World Championship. Today they lift the Caskuchi, a trophy made by Paraguayan hands that represents our identity, our culture, and the heart of our people. They take with them a huge victory and, forever, a piece of Paraguay. Congratulations, champions!
Translated from SpanishThis year, export growth is 26%, and half of that growth comes from industry! Industry generates jobs and development in the country, and today I met with the Minister of Economy, Oscar Lovera, and the Minister of the MIC, Marco Riquelme, together with representatives of various institutions, to continue strengthening Paraguay’s industrial ecosystem and continue building confidence so that Paraguayan investments in the country keep growing, thereby strengthening our economy. From the Government of Paraguay, we are focusing our efforts on securing financing to drive our industries forward and create more jobs for all Paraguayans.
Translated from SpanishWe like to think big. Today we move 25 million tonnes on the Hidrovía waterway, but our goal is to double that figure during this administration and multiply it tenfold in the future. We have the enormous regional potential to achieve it, which will lower logistics costs and strongly boost our entire productive sector.
Translated from SpanishThe Bioceanic Corridor will be one of the most important logistics routes in Latin America. The Paraguayan Chaco has enormous potential, and from the Government of Paraguay we are promoting this connectivity to transform 60% of our territory into an unstoppable hub of industrial and agricultural development.
Translated from SpanishParaguay is drawing the world’s attention. We open our arms to foreign capital and offer the best conditions for those who want to work, produce, and innovate, not for those who seek to live off bureaucracy. That is the path we have chosen.
Translated from SpanishToday I attended the inauguration of Laboratorios IMEG’s new injectable medicines plant in Mariano Roque Alonso. My congratulations to the Alarcón Yampey family for these 50 years of perseverance, investing in the country, creating 400 jobs, and strengthening our healthcare sovereignty. The Government of Paraguay will continue creating the conditions for stability so that the private sector can keep investing and building the nation we all dream of.
Translated from SpanishProjects that will transform the southwest of the country! As we mark 90 years of Japanese immigration, we celebrate a new milestone in our history of friendship with the enactment of the law approving financing of nearly 224 million dollars. This key project will allow us to improve our road integration corridors, driving economic development and creating new opportunities for the entire region.
