He recalled that for 25 years Panama has managed the Canal with responsibility and stability, guaranteeing its security, efficiency and neutrality. Torrijos stressed that the interoceanic route was expanded for the benefit of users and this country. He said that today we have to reaffirm before the United States and the world that we have complied with the Torrijos-Carter treaties, especially with the neutrality of the Canal. “We understand the value of solidarity and we have shown that we know how to be friends and can always collaborate with reciprocity and respect. If it is necessary and the security of the canal needs to be reinforced, we will do so as what we are, an independent and sovereign nation,” he said. He called for unity with determination and intelligence in defending what belongs to us. For his part, he said he is willing to do whatever is necessary to protect the dignity, sovereignty and future of Panama.
