Taipei, March 19 (CNA) Lawmakers from Taiwan’s South American ally Paraguay and from the United Kingdom arrived in the country on Sunday to begin their respective trips to meet with local senior officials to enhance ties between their countries and Taiwan, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA).

The Paraguayan delegation is headed by veteran Senator Blas Antonio Llano Ramos, who is joined by his wife and fellow senator Fernando Alberto Silva Facetti and parliamentarian Guadalupe Aveiro from the nation’s lower house, Chamber of Deputies of Paraguay, MOFA said in a press release.

The group will stay in Taiwan until March 23 and during the trip they will meet with Legislative Speaker You Si-kun (游錫堃), Foreign Minister Joseph Wu (吳釗燮) and other senior officials.

The delegates will also pay a trip to the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA), Mainland Affairs Council (MAC), TaiwanICDF responsible for the nation’s foreign aid projects and the government-funded think tank, the Institute for National Defense and Security Research, among other locations.
