Moderators Moderator_02 Posted November 8, 2019 Author Moderators Share Posted November 8, 2019 Quote Panama’s uncertain place in US hemispheric policy Posted 07/11/2019 In October, the interim undersecretary for hemispheric affairs of the United States Department of State visited Panama for four days. The long diplomatic visit is now followed, by the arrival of a dozen United States congressmen, on a visit to the country for two days. It seems that Panama has acquired an unexpected importance for US foreign policy. Our country and the northern nation have been partners, on unequal occasions, for more than a century and a half. That does not rule out that the recent interest of the US government requires Panamanian authorities, more transparency with citizens, and more clarity regarding national interests. There is nothing wrong with one ally seeking the support of the other to achieve ends of common benefit However, The government of Panama has had the historical vocation to carry out with opacity the foreign relations of our country. Panamanians need to know what are the interests at stake and the possible obligations that the country may be acquiring. The Latin American neighborhood needs more peace, cooperation and respect for human rights. The opposite does not benefit Panama.- LA PRENSA.
