Description
In Bogota, Panamanian artist and sculptor Aristides Urena is working on the final details of a statue depicting the signing of the historic Torrijos-Carter treaties that gave Panama full control of the Canal, otherwise under US control, before it is shipped to Panama.
Urena hopes the foot-long statue of former US President Jimmy Carter (1977-1981) shaking hands with former Panamanian dictator Omar Torrijos (1968-1981) will serve as a "historic tribute" to the country's "conquest of its independence." IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
