A look at Taiwan's cooperation with paraguay (2009-2019)

Abstract

Taiwan's situation in the international system is particular and the recognition of other states is key to its survival. Since 1957, Paraguay has maintained diplomatic relations with this Asian country. This research aims to describe the South-South cooperation of Taiwan with Paraguay during the 2009-2019 period, a very important characteristic of the bilateral relationship between both parties. In order to do this, we base the article on a descriptive bibliographic documentary research, considering primary and secondary sources regarding the focus of the study. Among the main results obtained, it can be seen that non-reimbursable cooperation projects are being adjusted according to five-year negotiations, that there is some continuity regarding the issues addressed by technical cooperation and the existence of other less known initiatives such as conferences and participation in fairs.
