Venezuela restores ties with Panama

Venezuela has restored full diplomatic ties with Panama, President Nicolas Maduro said.

"I send a greeting to the president of Panama. We have re-established diplomatic and political relations with Panama this very day," Maduro said on Tuesday in a televised address.

Diplomatic relations were broken on March 5 after Maduro used the anniversary of former President Hugo Chavez's death to accuse Panama's conservative government of joining the United States in an "open conspiracy" against him.
