The second day of these fairs will be complemented by a business conference on humanitarian aid and the national days of Paraguay, Spain, France, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador and the Caribbean States, whose delegations will join those of more than 30 participating countries.

The day before, at the opening of Expocomer, the President of the Republic, Laurentino Cortizo, stressed that holding this meeting in person was a sign of Panama’s economic recovery after two years of the Covid19 pandemic.

We have reasons to be optimistic and reasons to continue to put the interests of the fatherland above all other interests, he noted in his speech.
