History of cooperation
Recognition of Ukraine: April 1, 1992.
Establishment of diplomatic relations: February 26, 1993.
Paraguay abstained in the vote on the UN General Assembly resolution 68/262 of 27.03.2014 «Territorial integrity of Ukraine». The Parliamentary Commission for Friendship with Ukraine operates in the National Congress of the Republic of Paraguay.
Cultural and humanitarian cooperation
The Ukrainian community of Paraguay has about 12,000 ethnic Ukrainians. The mechanism of cultural exchange is cultural and artistic events conducted by the Ukrainian community with the organizational assistance of the Embassy and Honorary Consulate of Ukraine. In almost every area of the Department of Itapua (where ethnic Ukrainians live) groups of Ukrainian folk-dances were created, which are very popular among young people of Ukrainian origin.
Peculiarities of the country
1. Despite the fact that the second largest hydroelectric power station on earth operates here, the distribution infrastructure is so poor that power outages and blackouts occur regularly in different parts of the country.
2. Paraguay is the only South American country where most of the residents speak their own language rather than a colonial one. Guarani is the language spoken by everyone in Paraguay, regardless of income or social class.
3 The local currency is also called Guarani
