Asunción, Agencia IP.- The State of Israel reopened its embassy in Paraguay’s capital last Wednesday, after six years, to fully reestablish bilateral relations between the two nations. Likewise, the Paraguayan government announced the transfer of its diplomatic headquarters from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem in December of this year.

The Israeli ambassador, Yoed Magen, stressed that the embassy reopening in Asunción is part of a commitment made to President Santiago Peña in May of last year, shortly after his election.

«In that meeting you told me that you would be Israel’s best friend in the world. One year after your presidency began, we have witnessed your unconditional friendship with Israel and are very proud and honored to have a friend of your stature,» Magen told the Paraguayan President.

He indicated that one of the commitments was to reopen the Israeli embassy and that «today, September 18, this idea becomes a reality.» «I have no words to describe how excited I am,» said the ambassador.
