Taiwan and Panama relations will remain stable, insists official in Taipei

A Taiwanese foreign ministry official is saying that relations between Taiwan and Panama are stable.

 

That's despite a recent comment by Panama's Vice President Juan Carlos Varela that Panama will enter trade talks with China.

 

Panama's President Ricardo Martinelli visited Taiwan last month. Foreign ministry official Abel Lin explains why ties with Panama are stable: "Both presidents have given each other medals and have signed a joint communiqué with each other.

 

The joint communiqué states that in the international arena Panama will support Taiwan and that relations between the two sides will remain stable”.
