Panama’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that President José Raúl Mulino held a meeting with Kuwaiti Crown Prince Sabah Al-Khaled Al-Hamad on 22 September. The discussions focused on strengthening bilateral relations and enhancing cooperation in areas of mutual interest, including investment opportunities.

During the meeting, the Crown Prince of Kuwait proposed the signing of a double taxation, investment, and financing treaty to enable support for energy, port, health, and communications projects in Panama.
