Paraguay has become the first country in Latin America to sign a Safe Third Country agreement with the United States, meaning that Paraguayans currently on US soil will be able to apply for protection from their country of origin.

This was announced on Thursday, August 14, in a statement by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who heads the State Department. He emphasized that this agreement generates benefits for both countries, such as “sharing the burden of managing illegal immigration” and “ending the abuse of the asylum system” in the United States.

Rubio thanked President Santiago Peña in the statement, emphasizing the importance of the efforts as a partner in deterring illegal immigration and protecting the borders.

The agreement is the first signed by President Donald Trump in his second term, during which he has toughened his immigration policy.

In a recent meeting between the Venezuelan ambassador to Iraq, Arturo Aníbal Gallegos, and the Iraqi Minister of Agriculture, Abbas Jabr Al-Maliki, a memorandum of understanding was signed to strengthen trade cooperation between the two countries.

During the meeting, the Iraqi minister indicated that the nation is deeply interested in importing 400,000 head of Venezuelan cattle by 2025 to meet its people’s demand for protein.

This meeting addressed the need to “strengthen collaboration in livestock, beef consumption, and other agro-industrial areas.” The importance of “promoting bilateral private investment in the agro-industrial sector, enabling the development of productive capacities in Iraq with support from Venezuela’s experience,” was also highlighted.

The expansion of trade between the two countries includes the inclusion of strategic products “such as coffee, cocoa, and tropical fruits from Venezuela, while Iraq will offer its surplus wheat and dates.”

The presidents of Russia and North Korea, Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un, signed the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Agreement to strengthen cooperation in geostrategic matters.

According to Putin’s adviser on international politics, Yuri Ushakov, the recent agreement will replace those signed between Moscow and Pyongyang in 1961, 2000 and 2001. In a statement on Tuesday, the official indicated that the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Agreement between both countries will consider “all the universal principles of international law, will not have any confrontational character, will not be directed against any country and will be aimed at guaranteeing greater stability in the Northeast Asian region.”

However, other assessments about the rapprochement between both nations suggest that it is a strategic step by Russia to obtain more weapons from Pyongyang for the war with Ukraine.

For his part, Putin has insisted that the agreement will also be applied to create a “commercial and reciprocal payment system that allows exchanges by circumventing the financial circuits linked to the dollar, to which both countries are prohibited from accessing.”

The president of the Venezuelan company PDVSA, Pedro Tellechea, indicated this Monday that they achieved the signing of a framework agreement with the Spanish company Repsol with the aim of reactivating the Petroquirquire joint venture. The initiative will give a strong boost to the oil industry.

Telechea highlighted that this agreement lays “the foundations to promote the activities” of the Petroquiriquire company, “which includes the Quiriquire, Mene Grande and Barua-Motatan fields, which is extremely important for both Spain and Venezuela.”

For his part, Francisco Gea Pascual del Riquelme, general director of Exploration and Production and member of the Executive Committee of Repsol, stated that the signing of this agreement will contribute to “promote the industry, society and the relationship not only between the Spanish oil company and PDVSA, but between both nations.”

Venezuela is beginning to regain stability in trade relations with other countries after the relaxation of United States sanctions, to lay the foundations for a firm economy as the year 2024 approaches.
