Wadephul’s arrival marks the first visit by a German foreign minister to Panama since President Frank-Walter Steinmeier became the first German head of state to visit the country seven months ago. Mart\u00ednez-Acha V\u00e1squez made an official trip to Berlin one year ago, reflecting a pattern of intensified diplomatic exchange between the two nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Thursday, the two foreign ministers will hold a working meeting at the Palacio Bol\u00edvar, followed by a joint press conference. Wadephul is also scheduled to meet with President Jos\u00e9 Ra\u00fal Mulino. Discussions are expected to cover protection of maritime routes, including the Panama Canal, for international navigation and commerce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
