    The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Ascuncion confirmed the signing of the agreement on 6 March. Expect Dominica to cast their vote in favor of Paraguay at the U.N. in the land disputes between that country and Brazil (in return for some goodies, no doubt). We are becoming quite adapt at buying and selling votes it seems.

    Has Dominica put itself at conflict with the People’s Republic of China in doing this.?Paraguay recognises Taiwan as an independent state, and has done so since 1957, the only country to do so in S.America. Taiwan maintains a full fledged embassy in Ascuncion (as well as a consulate in Ciudad del Este) whereas to my knowledge the People’s Republic of China has no representation there. I wonder how that rhymes with Dominica’s recognition of one China only, it famous one-China policy? What is the benefit to Dominica to make such a sensitive move and risk upsetting its proclaimed ally in Bejing (not to mention embarrassing the Chinese ambassador in Roseau)?

    Paraguay the most corrupt country after Venezuela in Latin America is making news as establishing diplomatic relationship with Dominica.

    We don’t need anything Paraguay exports and they don’t need anything we have to export.

    What in this relationship will provide sustainable benefit for Dominica but more corruption.

We have to proliferate ourself all over the world. Well done to the Government of Dominica!!! God bless DOMINICA!

    Paraguay, the adopted home of infamous Dr. Joseph Mengele, the Angel of Auschwitz, after world war 2. What are we doing in a country like that as descendants of African people? Anything for a dollar.

    Dominica is sure busy establishing diplomatic relations. Interestingly, since the US gained its independence from Great Britain in 1783, they have established diplomatic relations with 280 countries. We talking about 232 years of independence. Dominica in our 36 years of independence has been able to establish diplomatic relations with 98 countries? Boy we good! I wonder how many diplomatic relations have been established since Skerrit became PM and with which countries. I can remember China, Palestine, UAE, Libya, and now Paraguay. DNO, can you or anyone name the countries that Dominica established diplomatic relations with since Skerrit became PM in 2014?

    Not too long ago I was sleeping and had a very disturbing dream. In the dream I saw Dominica and Hell establishing diplomatic relations, with some tall, bad, and ugly person, who referred to himself as Satan, signing on behalf of Hell while a certain ambassador representing Dominica. As I got up and thought of the dream, it came to my attention that Dominicans were already sent to Hell. All I will say here is Paraguay? Then who next? DNO it would be very helpful if you would name ALL the 98 States which maintain diplomatic relations with the Commonwealth of Dominica, and the names of our ambassadors who serve on our behalf.

    Another losing proposition. More like “do you have some money you can give us for nothing?”
