The embassy is expecting a delegation of representatives of the sanitary service and business to assess the possibilities of expanding cooperation.

"We are receiving signals from Paraguayan producers about their interest in returning to previous supply volumes. Paraguay has great opportunities in this regard. As we were assured by local agricultural producers, if Russia is interested, they are ready to quickly increase production and double the supply of meat. By the way, Paraguay is one of the ten largest meat exporters in the world, and it is a country friendly to Russia, which is important," the ambassador said.

Earlier, the Embassy of Paraguay in Russia told Izvestia that a delegation from the Paraguayan Sanitary Service (SENACSA) would travel to Russia to explore the possibility of strengthening cooperation. A visit by Paraguayan businessmen from the industry is also possible.
