Japan Donates
to Panama Martial Arts, Fencing Efforts
PANAMA - Japan
will donate funds to build a martial arts
and fencing center in Panama City's Irving
Saladino Sports City, the Panama Sports
Agency announced on Thursday
Japan promised eight million dollars for a
three-storey building which will host
facilities for eight sports, the agency said
as part of a government-wide effort to
report what Ricardo Matinelli has done
during his first 100 days as president.
The government is also gong to fund the
agency to the tune of eight million dollars
for other activities.
Panama lacks appropriate fencing facilities,
said Fencer Yesika Jimenez, who represented
Panama at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
Agency director Omar Moreno said it had not
yet received approval for a 40 million
dollar budget plan for 2010. |
