Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Panama Erika Mouynes is in Singapore for an Official Visit from 9 to 13 April 2022, as part of a visit to Asia.

Minister Mouynes called on Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong at the Istana today. Prime Minister Lee and Minister Mouynes reaffirmed the warm ties between Singapore and Panama, which marked the 40th anniversary of diplomatic relations this year. Prime Minister Lee and Minister Mouynes discussed how, as small, trade-dependent and open economies, both countries should explore ways to deepen cooperation amidst global uncertainty. Both sides also exchanged views on domestic policies for post-pandemic economic recovery as well as on regional and international developments. Prime Minister Lee welcomed Panama’s interest to build closer relations with Southeast Asia and ASEAN. 

Minister Mouynes also met with Minister for Finance Lawrence Wong earlier today. She will be hosted to breakfast by Minister for Foreign Affairs Dr Vivian Balakrishnan on 12 April 2022, and will meet Minister for Sustainability and Environment Grace Fu, Senior Minister of State for Transport Chee Hong Tat and Minister of State, Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth and Ministry of Trade and Industry Alvin Tan. She will visit the National Research Foundation to learn about the development of Singapore’s research and innovation hub. In addition, Minister Mouynes will be meeting senior representatives of Singapore companies and visit ITE College Central, where she will witness the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding to institutionalise collaboration between ITE and Panama’s Institute of Specialised Technical Education (ITSE).

Minister Mouynes is accompanied by senior officials from the Panamanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
