RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – The president of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), Mauricio Claver-Carone, will meet with the president of Paraguay, Mario Abdo Benítez, during his first visit to the South American country this Monday and until Tuesday.

Claver-Carone will also meet with the highest authorities of the Treasury and the Ministry of Public Works in meetings that will address issues related to investment projects, reforms, infrastructure, and the green agenda.

The IDB head will be accompanied by several organization authorities, including Benigno López, who last year left the post of Finance Minister of Paraguay after being appointed vice-president of Sectors and Knowledge of the multilateral organization.

The Ministry of Finance said in a statement that the visit of the IDB president is part of the strategic partner relationship that the country maintains with the institution.

Claver-Carone took office in 2020 after serving as advisor for the Americas to then US President Donald Trump.
