Acord între Panama şi China pentru reînnoirea tratatului privind transportul maritim • Newsweek România

Panama has reached an agreement with China to renew a maritime treaty that benefits Panamanian ships in Chinese ports. This decision follows complaints from Panama regarding stricter inspections of its vessels in China. The treaty, set to expire this year, provides preferential tariffs and simplified administrative procedures for Panamanian-flagged ships. Recent negotiations in Beijing led to a consensus on moving forward with the renewal process. The interim Panamanian foreign minister noted that the number of ships detained for inspection has returned to historical levels after a spike in 2026.
