Asunción, Agencia IP.- Former Ministers of Foreign Affairs and ambassadors such as business sectors expressed their support for the Government and the Chancellery’s actions to solve the conflict of the transit in the waterway Paraguay – Paraná.

On Wednesday, Chancellor Rubén Ramírez received representatives from the industrial and business sectors from the Business Advisory Council for Foreign Relations.

The private sector members supported the Chancellery so that, through diplomacy, an agreement could be reached as soon as possible with Argentina on the intended toll on the waterway and guarantee free navigability.

For its part, the Council of Retired Ambassadors of Paraguay (Cepsir), which brings together former Paraguayan foreign ministers and diplomats, issued a statement highlighting its support for the Government’s position of demanding the unilateral collection of fees, in contravention of the Waterway Treaty, as well as the retention of Paraguayan barges for not paying the toll, in violation of the provisions of the Mercosur Treaty.
