Panama and Brazil strengthen ties
15 12 2006This makes a lot of sense, the possibilities of the two collaborating are endless. And I’m most thrilled of the direct connection Rio - Panama; I’ve always been wanting to fly one of those topnotch Brazilian Embraer planes. Makes a lot of sense, not, Pelle?
Brazilian aeronautical company Embraer sold 12 94-seat airplanes to COPA, which are destined to new routes in Panama’s commercial air transportation. The new flight to Rio de Janeiro was added to a regional flight operating since last July between Panama and Manaos, one of the most important cities in South America’s Amazon area. The ambassador stated that his government is interested in enhancing ties with Panama in other areas, such as trade, which currently amounts to 320 million U.S. dollars. Last week, Panamanian Foreign Minister Samuel Lewis Navarro met with his Brazilian counterpart, Celso Amorim, in order to promote bilateral trade. During their meeting, the two ministers talked about Brazilian companies’ participation in the Panama Canal extension and Panama’s accession to the United Nations Security Council.

Absolutely it does. Brazil already supplies nearly all non sports shoes to Panama. On my visit last summer I also noted that Brazilian music was playing in the clubs (although pretty much always the same song). I even discovered Sao Paulino instant miso in a supermarket in David, Chiriqui. But that is of course only a scratch in the surface of what is possible.
