Preside Panama: The Panama Channel belongs to Panama
“This channel belongs to Panama,” Panama Preside Panama rejected any conversation about the Panama Canal’s corol during the US Secretary of State’s visit to the coury.
Preside Panama Preside Jose Raul Mulino, referring to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s visit to Panama, said: “There will be no talk about corolling the Panama Canal.”
Rubio will travel to Panama in the coming days.
According to the English Magazine, Molino’s remarks at a weekly press conference after Donald Trump threatened to take corol of the channel and claimed the channel was run by China. The Panama governme strongly denies the allegation.
“I can’t negotiate, and I can’t even open the process of negotiating the channel,” Molino said. This is sealed. This channel belongs to Panama. “
The Panama Canal is a 2 -kilometer waterway that connects the Pacific Ocean and the Atlaic Ocean and is the key to world trade curres run by the Panama Canal.
The United States made the channel in the early tweieth ceury and took corol of it in Panama in year 6.
But Trump, claiming that China corols the channel and that Chinese soldiers are there, said the treaty would “retake back in corol of Panama and the United States and the United States” will “recover.”
“I have not received any information from the US Embassy in Panama and not the Secretary of State about the alleged military presence of another coury on the channel,” Molino added.
“The Panama channel is under the corol of Panama and its administration has always been in Panama’s hand,” he said.
Panama said that Panama has other issues such as immigration and drug trafficking to talk to Rubio.
Asked whether Panama could eliminate the privileges of China -related companies, he said the issue was not on the table, stating that the governme was waiting for the results of auditing to pay Chinese companies to the United States.
“Panama is not a coury that destroys the rules and violates the rules,” Molino added. If I do this because they are Chinese companies or because someone asked me to do so and eliminate concessions, this is not the way we wa to be a coury for foreign investors. Create. Panama respects the rule of law. “
