Panama’s foreign minister uses UN speech to help defuse tension after deterioration in Panama-China relations due to canal dispute
Panama’s Javier Martinez-Acha struck a similar register from the podium.
“Dialogue is not a sign of weakness. It is the highest form of trust in reason, in diplomacy, and in the ability of human beings to find peaceful settlements to disputes,” Panama’s foreign minister told the council.
Martinez-Acha also defended what he called “useful multilateralism”, one “not measured solely by the number of resolutions adopted, but by its capacity to prevent conflicts, protect lives and offer concrete answers to the challenges of our peoples”.
