CHINA RESPONDS TO THE NON RENEWAL OF MOU ON BRI

China firmly opposes U.S. pressuring and coercion that smear and sabotage BRI cooperation. We deeply regret Panama’s decision to not renew the MoU on BRI.

BRI is an economic cooperation initiative with the participation of 150+ countries, including 20+ LAC countries. It has delivered tangibly for people in these countries, including Panama.

We hope that Panama will steer clear of external disruption and make the right decision which is good for bilateral relations and the long-term interests of the two peoples.
