Foreign Policy
Panama's foreign policy revolves around protecting the neutrality and sovereignty of the Panama Canal, attracting foreign investment, and maintaining good relations with all major trading powers. Panama is one of the few countries with trade agreements linking both the Americas and Asia.
Panama plays a mediating role in the region and has hosted peace negotiations, including those for the Colombian peace process. It maintains a balanced approach between the US and China, having established relations with Beijing in 2017.
