Asunción, Agencia IP.- Gustavo Leite was sworn in yesterday as Paraguay’s new Ambassador to the United States of America during a ceremony held at the Presidential Palace. The President of the Republic, Santiago Peña, administered the oath of office to Gustavo Leite as the new Ambassador of Paraguay to the United States.
In remarks to the press, Leite outlined a series of priorities for his mission, which were agreed upon with the president. One of them is educational, scientific, and technological cooperation.
In this context, he noted that more than 650 Paraguayan students are currently studying in the United States, with 170 pursuing graduate degrees. «We would like to triple that number,» he emphasized.
He also mentioned that he has already spoken with several U.S. congressmen, to whom he expressed his desire to establish a different kind of relationship with the United States—one of «partners.» He announced that efforts would focus on this goal, noting, «Political power in the United States is very strong, and we’ll also work closely with the State Department and the White House.»
