solder paste may be the stuff for plumbing etc. which corrodes metal.
you need colophony/resin flux.
you should get it in chemicals shops.
also any electronics shop should have rosin/flux core solder.
this already has a core of flux and you don't need anything else for most 
things.
you may too think about buying abroad (mail order) if there is no other 
way.
but i really think there are suppliers. maybe you can find a company which 
does repair / design of electronics with google in your country and ask 
them where they get their stuff. the smaller the company the better (bigger 
ones have connections to other countries and
can import more easily).
i am relatively sure there are sorces in your country which you only need 
to find.

are there no mail order electronics suppliers where you are?
