The United States and Panama share a deep, longstanding relationship rooted in mutual respect and shared values. These values anchor our strong and enduring friendship.
The United States stands with Panama as a steadfast partner, working together to address some of the region's toughest challenges, including transnational crime, irregular migration, and corruption. Our security collaboration is vital to ensuring the safety and stability of our region.
Economically, our partnership continues to thrive and benefit both nations. Together, we are building a more prosperous future that offers opportunities for all our citizens. We look forward to strengthening our cultural and educational exchanges to foster greater understanding and appreciation of our diverse traditions.
