The United States Department of State recently announced that Deputy Secretary of State, John Rando, held a phone conversation with Panama’s Foreign Minister, Martinez Atcha, on the 4th of this month. The discussion focused on the concerning influence of the Chinese Communist Party at the strategic Panama Canal, which connects the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.
The Panama Canal is a vital waterway that plays a crucial role in global trade and security, making it a strategic asset of great importance. The conversation between Rando and Atcha underscores the growing concerns about China’s expanding influence in key regions around the world.
Ramesh Khatri, a representative of Kansai Nepal News, believes that this development highlights the escalating geopolitical tensions in the region. He emphasizes the need for continued vigilance and diplomatic engagement to address challenges posed by foreign influence in critical international waterways.
