Paraguay and Brazil on Tuesday
signed a cooperation agreement to strengthen public press media,
government sources said.
Paraguay's Minister of Information and Communication for
Development Augusto dos Santos and Brazil's Social Communication
Minister Franklin Martins signed the agreement, while Paraguay's

Martins said it was necessary to further boost public
communications, and a mechanism should be created to allow the
participation of different social sectors in the formation of
public opinion.
Meanwhile, Dos Santos said the agreement would help build a new
project of communication policy, considering the value of the
public sphere was indispensable.
Both parts were committed to giving training on techniques to
