Asunción, Agencia IP.- The President of the Republic, Santiago Peña, expressed his «fervent wish» for the conclusion of the free trade agreement between Mercosur and the European Union, which he described as more than just an economic-commercial alliance, but also a message to those who seek to «silence the clarinets of peace.»
He made the remarks during the closing ceremony of the Paraguay–Spain Business Forum, held on Wednesday at the Cultural Center of the Port of Asunción, on the occasion of the visit of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.
On that occasion, Peña voiced his «eagerness» and, above all, his «fervent wish» that the free trade agreement between Mercosur and the European Union can be finalized soon.
«This agreement is much more than a commercial accord, much more than economic exchange—it is an opportunity to send a message in a polarized, divided world, where the drums of war—whether through bullets or tariffs—seem to want to silence the clarinets of peace, of those of us who long for peace and greater integration,» the president stated.
