China’s foreign minister to visit Panama to forge new ties

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi will visit Panama at the end of this week, according to officials – three months after the countries established diplomatic ties at the expense of Taiwan.

The Central American nation’s foreign ministry said Wang would lead a delegation aimed at “advancing the bilateral agenda of Panama and China”, including on tourism exchanges, trade links and the maritime environment.

He will meet Panamanian President Juan Carlos Varela on Saturday.
