Panama maintains stable business and trade ties with both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and its plans of signing a free trade agreement with Taiwan is not impacting its trade relations with mainland China, a Panamanian official said Wednesday.
Panama's Vice Minister of Industry and Commerce Meliton Arrocha said that his government expects to accelerate bilateral business and trade ties with both Taiwan and China via free trade agreements, adding that Panama and Taiwan have taken the first step down this path.
Panama is Taiwan's main trading partner in Central America with trade between the two countries reaching US$128.1 million last year.
