Paraguay, a landlocked nation in South America known for its rich hydro resources and expansive hardwood forests, is eyeing a closer relationship with China. The agriculture sector forms a significant part of Paraguay’s economy, and many believe that strengthening ties with China could bring substantial benefits.
Abel Gamarra Guggiari, a director at a leading Paraguayan retail company, expressed optimism about the growing presence of Chinese brands in the local market. “Chinese brands are becoming more prominent here because they have top-tier factories,” Guggiari said in an interview with CGTN. “Paraguayans have an increasingly positive view of Chinese products.”
Guggiari emphasized the potential advantages of enhanced cooperation between Paraguay and China. “I have a very good impression of all products from Chinese factories and suppliers,” he noted. “I hope that in the future, Paraguay and China can grow closer together, as this would greatly benefit Paraguay’s development.”
This sentiment reflects a broader desire among Paraguayan businesses to expand international trade and embrace new opportunities. Closer ties with China could pave the way for economic growth and increased access to high-quality goods.
