On the morning of May 2 at 11:00 AM, Deputy Secretary-General of the Legislative Yuan, Chang Yu-jung, attended the inauguration ceremony of the Republic of China and Paraguay Parliamentary Friendship Association on behalf of President Daniel K.Y.

成立大會首先由發起人廖偉翔委員致開場詞，繼通過組織章程暨推選會長與副會長後，由張裕榮副秘書長代表立法院致詞。張副秘書長表示，台灣與拉美地區雖然相隔萬里，但多年來台巴雙邊邦誼不論是經濟、貿易、文化、教育、農業、工業技術、醫療衛生等方面，都不斷擴大及深化。
The inauguration ceremony began with opening remarks from the initiator, Legislator Liao Wei-hsiang. Following the adoption of the association's organizational charter and the election of the president and vice president, Deputy Secretary-General Chang Yu-jung delivered a speech on behalf of the Legislative Yuan. Deputy Secretary-General Chang noted that although Taiwan and Latin America are separated by vast distances, the bilateral ties between Taiwan and Paraguay have continually expanded and deepened over the years in various fields, including economics, trade, culture, education, agriculture, industrial technology, and healthcare.
張副秘書長續稱，上（4）月15日巴國國會暨參議院議長歐斐拉（Excmo. Sr. Silvio Adalberto Ovelar Benítez）率團訪台期間亦蒞臨立法院拜會韓院長，韓院長席間對於歐斐拉議長與該國政府多次公開支持我國國際參與、展現對台灣的堅定相挺之意，也表達由衷感謝。
Deputy Secretary-General Chang further mentioned that on the 15th of last month (April), Congress and Senate President of the Republic of Paraguay, Silvio Adalberto Ovelar Benítez, led a delegation to visit Taiwan and paid a courtesy call to President Han at the Legislative Yuan. During the meeting, President Han expressed his heartfelt gratitude to President Ovelar Benítez and the Paraguayan government for their steadfast support of Taiwan's international participation and for their multiple public declarations of support for Taiwan.
張副秘書長最後盛讚廖委員以「從政是為了他人臉上的笑容」作為理念，今日「中華民國與巴拉圭國會議員友好協會」之成立也正是這句話的最佳實踐，讓台巴兩國繼續以笑容維持邦誼與互動，並擴大台巴合作領域及強化夥伴關係；未來如有需要配合的行政事宜，立法院一定盡力協助。
Deputy Secretary-General Chang concluded by highly praising Legislator Liao for his principle of "entering politics for the smiles on others' faces." He emphasized that the establishment of the Republic of China and Paraguay Parliamentarians Friendship Association today is the best embodiment of this belief. It allows Taiwan and Paraguay to maintain their friendship and interactions with smiles and to expand cooperation fields and strengthen partnerships between the two countries. He assured that the Legislative Yuan will do its utmost to assist with any necessary administrative matters in the future.
成立大會於全體貴賓進行大合照後，續由外交部陳立國常務次長、巴拉圭共和國費卡洛大使、翁曉玲委員等人分別致詞祝賀，歷約30分鐘圓滿結束，氣氛熱絡愉快。
