BRAZIL-PARAGUAY: Cartes touches down in Brazil
Paraguay’s President Horacio Cartes travelled to Brazil this week to discuss a range of bilateral issues with his Brazilian peer Michel Temer. Security was at the top of the agenda, with an emphasis on how to control the movement of contraband across the shared border through greater cooperation between Paraguay’s national anti-trafficking force and Brazil’s federal police. The two leaders also discussed economic co-operation, expressing their commitment to further integration, both in a binational capacity and within the Southern Common Market (Mercosur), by pushing for a trade agreement with the European Union (EU).
