"Panama has made its geographical position available to India to consolidate itself as the gateway to the rest of the region, as a logistics and air connectivity hub, and we want to support India so that through our platform it can increase its competitiveness in global trade," said the Panamanian leader. Varela, who appeared at a press conference with Naidu, said that both countries are "stable and functional democracies, with good indicators of economic growth; that we are advancing in the fight against corruption and our priority policies are accountability and transparency". The Panamanian leader explained that he came to an agreement with the Indian Vice President to build a "much more robust" bilateral agenda focused on the implementation of "technological, scientific and agricultural" projects, as well as on the promotion of tourism flows. Naidu's visit comes one month after the Panamanian government announced that from next June 1 the citizens of the Asian country who travel as tourists to Panama will have to request a stamped visa, which replaces the current restricted visa, something that will positively impact tourism and commerce, according to Varela. The Panamanian president also recalled that the visit of Naidu, which this afternoon will tour the Panama Canal, is part of the so-called "Hawk Policy", a new foreign policy aimed at strengthening ties with "emerging economies of Asia and the Middle East, regions with whom historically no such close relationship existed." "India is the 5th largest economy in the world and the 2nd most populous country. The success of India is due to its rich culture and its commitment to entrepreneurship, science, innovations, technology and its highly qualified human resources", said Varela, who also invited Indian companies to establish themselves in the country and participate in public projects. The Indian politician thanked the Panamanian Government for the migratory flexibility and announced that his Government contributed 10 million dollars to the Center for Biodiversity and Discovery of Drugs of the Institute of Scientific Research and High Technology Services (INDICASAT). "We live in an economy of constant movement and we know that Panama has done very well in the region," Naidu added. http://www.panamatoday.com/panama/panama-logistic-gateway-india-latin-america-6810 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
