US Strengthens Security Cooperation With Paraguay
Robert Alter, Charge d’Affaires at the U.S. Embassy in Asunción, said on December 17, 2025 that the United States and Paraguay signed a new security cooperation agreement aimed at dismantling organized crime and blocking narcotics flows. Alter said the pact expands bilateral cooperation into critical minerals, logistical resilience, and joint AI development, and that it excludes a U.S. military base while limiting temporary DoD visits to training and capacity-building.
