Akishino, Emperor Akihito's second son, will meet with Paraguayan President Nicanor Duarte during his stay in the South American country starting Nov. 1, agency spokesman Takuya Endo said.
For Akishino -- the second in line to the throne, it will be his first trip to Paraguay, Endo said. Akihito visited the country in 1978 when he was crown prince.
Akishino's visit will mark the 70th anniversary of Japanese immigration in Paraguay.
