The Ambassador reiterated Paraguay's solidarity with the United States and all countries that profess the principles of the OAS Charter.
Narcotics trafficking and money laundering were also among other top priorities he touched on as he underscored Paraguay's long-standing tradition of embracing initiatives for hemispheric cooperation.
