Panama’s political landscape is getting a fresh makeover! President-elect Jose Raul Mulino unveiled his cabinet lineup Thursday, with economist Javier Martinez-Acha tapped as foreign minister. The move signals a focus on economic diplomacy as the Central American nation navigates post-pandemic recovery and global trade shifts.
Mulino, set to take office July 1, emphasized his team’s mission to 'revitalize Panama’s role as a bridge between continents.' The cabinet includes leaders from finance, tech, and environmental sectors—key areas for a country balancing economic growth with climate challenges.
Analysts say Martinez-Acha’s appointment highlights Panama’s push to strengthen international partnerships. With the Panama Canal contributing 6% of GDP, his economic expertise could prove crucial in navigating trade tensions and infrastructure investments.
