Bolsonaro confirms plans to build 2 bridges to Paraguay
Brazil's President Jair Bolsonaro (pictured) confirmed plans to build two road bridges connecting with Paraguay.
"The construction of new bridges has a fundamental importance for our people. Count on the support of our government to achieve this goal," Bolsonaro said in a televised speech, after a private meeting with his Paraguayan counterpart Mario Abdo Benítez.
Last year, Brazil's then-president Michel Temer announced a plan to build two new road bridges on the Paraguay-Brazil border to be financed by Itaipú Binacional, operator of the Itaipu hydroelectric dam on the same border.
Currently, both countries are linked via the "friendship bridge" (Ponte da Amizade) over the Paraná river, connecting Brazil's Foz do Iguaçu and Paraguay's Ciudad del Este.
A second Paraná river bridge, which has been mulled since 1992, will connect Foz do Iguaçu city in Brazil's Paraná state to Paraguay's Presidente Franco. The other bridge will cross the Paraguay river between Porto Murtinho in Brazil's Mato Grosso do Sul state and Carmelo Peralta in Paraguay.
