The United States congratulates José Raúl Mulino on his inauguration as President of the Republic of Panama. Through this election, the Panamanian people expressed their collective aspirations for prosperity, security, and democratic governance.
The United States reaffirms our long-standing partnership with Panama. We look forward to continuing to work together to strengthen institutions, advance inclusive economic growth, and promote good governance and citizen security. We will also work to strengthen the close collaboration between our two countries to address the unprecedented level of irregular migration through the Darién and dissuade would-be migrants from attempting this extremely dangerous journey.
We stand ready to support Panama as it seeks to deliver a more prosperous, secure future for all Panamanians.
