Panama Denies
Agreement With U.S. On Military Bases
PANAMA - Panama's
Vice President and Foreign Minister Juan
Carlos Varela denied on Monday his country
had reached agreement with the United States
on the creation of four aerial-maritime
bases in the Panamanian coasts.
Varela made the denial in response to
President of Peace and Justice Services
Julio Yao's criticism of President Ricardo
Martinelli's foreign policy and the alleged
prospective establishment of aerial-maritime
bases to combat drug, weapons and people
trafficking.
The Panamanian opposition has claimed that
these bases would be controlled by the
United States. However, the Panamanian
government denied those allegations, saying
that those facilities will be under
Panamanian control.
