Xu Wei, a minister counselor of the Department of Latin American and Caribbean Affairs at China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was attending a UNESCO meeting in Asunción as part of a Chinese delegation. The Paraguayan Foreign Ministry stated that after entering the country, Xu Wei visited lawmakers and urged them to reconsider Paraguay's long-standing diplomatic relationship with Taiwan.
