Paraguay and Aruba agree to strengthen trade and investment

Paraguayan President Santiago Peña and Aruban Prime Minister Mike Eman agreed Tuesday to bolster bilateral trade and foster new investments between their nations. The meeting took place in Lima on the sidelines of the inauguration of Peru's President-elect Keiko Fujimori. Peña described the encounter as "excellent" and highlighted progress in agreements aimed at enhancing trade and easing access for Paraguayan products, such as beef, to new markets. He noted discussions focused on "new investment and trade opportunities." Peña pointed out Aruba's annual influx of over two million visitors as a significant market for Paraguayan food producers. The leaders also examined the potential for establishing a "connectivity hub" linking Paraguay with the Caribbean and North America. Additionally, they addressed the importance of continuing to strengthen ties between South America, the Caribbean, and Europe. Both Peña and Eman attended Fujimori's swearing-in ceremony for the 2026-2031 term. Peña arrived in Lima on Monday with a delegation of ministers and is scheduled to travel to Ecuador for his first official visit there on Wednesday.
