Relations between both Latin American countries were suspended in 2019, after the re-election of Nicolás Maduro to the presidency of Venezuela, as a reaction from the president of Paraguay at that time, Abdo Benítez bowed to the position of other nations in the region, the United States. and the European Union, which did not recognize the electoral process.
Once this stage has been overcome, Venezuela and Paraguay are preparing for “good coexistence”, in addition to making it possible to “consolidate good relations between States and preserve the natural friendship and solidarity between our peoples.”
