Description
The United States and Panama conduct joint military exercises aimed at protecting the Panama Canal, amid tensions over alleged Chinese influence along the prized trade route.
"We are also working to improve the training of our personnel and implement innovative strategies," says Maritza Cension, Deputy Commisioner of Panama's National Border Service.
US presence in Panama remains a sensitive issue, as it evokes a time when Washington had an enclave of military bases in the country before the Canal was handed over to Panamanians on the last day of 1999.
