Paraguay–Brazil relations have improved greatly after Brazilian President Lula's decision in 2009 to triple its payments to Paraguay for energy from a massive hydro-electric dam on their border, ending a long-running dispute. Under the accord, Brazil will pay Paraguay $360m a year for energy from the jointly-operated Itaipu plant. Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva called it a "historic agreement" and the deal slated as a political victory for former Paraguayan President Fernando Lugo.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8169084.stm | work=BBC News | title=Brazil and Paraguay in power deal | date=July 25, 2009 | access-date=May 2, 2010}}</ref>

A military training agreement with [[Asunción]], giving immunity to [[US military|US soldiers]], caused some concern after media reports initially reported that a base housing 20,000 US soldiers was being built at [[Mariscal Estigarribia]] within 200&nbsp;km of Argentina and Bolivia, and 300&nbsp;km of Brazil, near an airport which could receive large planes ([[B-52]], [[C-130 Hercules]], etc.) which the Paraguayan Air Forces do not have.<ref>{{Cite news |title=U.S. Military Moves in Paraguay Rattle Regional Relations |publisher=[[International Relations Center]] |date=December 14, 2005 |access-date=26 October 2006 |url=http://americas.irc-online.org/am/2991 |first1=Sam |last1=Logan |first2=Matthew |last2=Flynn |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070612192202/http://americas.irc-online.org/am/2991 |archive-date=2007-06-12 }}</ref><ref name="Clarin">[http://www.clarin.com/suplementos/zona/2005/09/11/z-03615.htm US Marines put a foot in Paraguay] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090327063628/http://www.clarin.com/suplementos/zona/2005/09/11/z-03615.htm |date=2009-03-27 }}, [[Clarín (Argentine newspaper)|El Clarín]], September 9, 2005 {{in lang|es}}</ref>

In September 2009 Paraguay's President [[Fernando Lugo]] revoked plans for US troops to hold joint military exercises and development projects after stating that he no longer thinks that hosting troops taking part in the US department of defence's "New Horizons" programme was worthwhile. President Lugo referenced strong regional opposition from countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela, Bolivia and Ecuador to the expansion of US military bases in Colombia in his decision.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://english.aljazeera.net/news/americas/2009/09/20099181720730677.html |title=Paraguay cancels US troops deal - Americas |publisher=Al Jazeera English |access-date=2012-06-22}}</ref>

Relations between Paraguay and Venezuela  improved during Paraguay's  leftist [[President of Paraguay|President]] [[Fernando Lugo]] (2008-2012), a change from 61 unbroken years of [[Colorado Party (Paraguay)|Colorado party]] rule. President Lugo supported Venezuela's entry into [[Mercosur]] however the Colorado Party's influence in Paraguay's Congress and Senate retarded this expansion.

Paraguay and Venezuela restarted negotiations on an unpaid debt of $250 million owed by Paraguayan oil company [[Petropar]] to its counterpart [[Petróleos de Venezuela]] after the Presidents of Paraguay and Venezuela met to deal with the financing.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://english.eluniversal.com/2009/09/03/en_eco_art_venezuela,-paraguay_03A2697727.shtml |title= Venezuela, Paraguay resume talks about fuel debt - Daily News - EL UNIVERSAL|website=english.eluniversal.com |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130728033659/http://english.eluniversal.com/2009/09/03/en_eco_art_venezuela,-paraguay_03A2697727.shtml |archive-date=July 28, 2013}}</ref>
