President of the Republic of Panama begins visit to
Cuba
YESTERDAY afternoon, January 2,
His Excellency Mr. Martín Torrijos Espino, president
of the Republic of Panama, arrived in Havana on a
working visit. He is accompanied by a group of his
collaborators.
This
is the fourth visit to Cuba by President Torrijos
since he assumed the presidency in 2004. His last
stay in our country was in September 2006, on the
occasion of the successful celebration of the 14th
Summit of the Non-Aligned Movement.
Ties of collaboration and
cooperation between Cuba and Panama are growing
steadily, particularly in the areas of health and
education, which is a reflection of the satisfactory
relations between the two nations.
During his visit, the Panamanian
president and his accompanying delegation will carry
out a program that includes talks with leaders of
the Cuban state and government, and visits to places
of historical and social interest.
