Russia, Paraguay mark 10th anniversary of bilateral diplomatic relations

Russia and Paraguay are celebrating the 10th anniversary of the establishment of bilateral diplomatic relations. On Tuesday Foreign Ministers Igor Ivanov of Russia and Jose Antonio Ruffinelli of Paraguay exchanged messages of greeting reading that over the past 10 years bilateral relations have been fruitfully developing to take the two countries at a brand new level of partnership. To mark the 10th anniversary of Russo-Paraguayan diplomatic relations established in 1992, Asuncion, the capital of Paraguay, will next week run festive events organised by the Russian embassy in Argentina, the Paraguayan Foreign Ministry and the large Russian community that settled in this South American country in the 1930s.
