The president of Paraguay, the only South American country with official ties to Taiwan, has offered to act as a facilitator for countries that seek high-level interactions with Taipei, including the United States and Japan.
“I have told the U.S. president that if he ever wants to meet (Taiwanese) President Lai (Ching-te), he's more than welcome to do it in Paraguay,” the country’s leader, Santiago Pena, told The Japan Times on Thursday.
