Ambassador Wayne attended on April 27 the signing of the Final Act of Execution and Compliance of the 1938 Treaty of Peace, Friendship and Borders between the Republics of Bolivia and Paraguay held at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
On behalf of the United States, which was one of the mediating countries that brought about the signing of the Peace Treaty in 1938, Ambassador Wayne received a copy of the Final Act. Ambassador Wayne joined with Foreign Minister Taiana, Foreign Minister of Chile Mariano Fernandez and the Ambassadors of Brazil, Peru and Uruguay in applauding the efforts of Bolivia and Paraguay to carry out the duties established in the 1938 Treaty of Peace, Friendship and Borders.
“The United States is proud to have supported the process that led to the signing of a peace treaty between Paraguay and Bolivia, and we congratulate Argentina on the constructive leadership role it played in resolving a serious conflict. This serves as a vivid reminder that collective diplomatic action applied in a timely way can also prevent this type of conflict," said Ambassador Wayne.
