Paraguayan President Santiago Pena was hospitalized on Monday due to a chest pain while attending the G20 summit in Brazil's Rio de Janeiro, his office said.

Axar.az reports that "He is currently completing the pertinent medical checks," his office said in a statement. "The hospital will issue a medical report in the next few hours."

The G20 Summit is currently taking place in Rio de Janerio under Brazil's presidency, with a focus on poverty and climate financing.

Although Paraguay is not a part of the G20 nations, Pena was invited by Brazil "in the spirit of promoting a more representative perspective of developing countries, in particular Mercosur partners," as per a press statement from the Brazilian government.
