Asunción, October 23 (RHC) -- The presidents of Paraguay, Horacio Cartes, and Uruguay, José Mujica, are slated to meet on Friday in Montevideo to discuss issues related to the regional trade bloc MERCOSUR and port facilities.

According to government sources, Cartes is interested in Uruguay's ports development, Nueva Palmira, from where landlocked Paraguay ships most of its grains and oilseeds. The development of a deep-water terminal to the east of Uruguay on the Atlantic coast will also be among topics to be addressed at the meeting.

In parallel, Paraguayan Foreign Minister Eladio Loizaga will be meeting with his Uruguayan peer Luis Almagro with whom he will address MERCOSUR political issues.

Following his stay in Montevideo, President Cartes will be visiting Ecuador and Venezuela.
