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.
