Panama and US Sign Deal to Repatriate Migrants Across Darien Gap

ai generated text

The US government has agreed to cover the costs of repatriating migrants who enter Panama illegally, as part of a memorandum of agreement signed by the new foreign minister of Panama and the US Homeland Security Secretary. The agreement aims to "close off" the passage of illegal migrants through the Darien Gap, a region known for its treacherous terrain and high risk of human trafficking. According to reports, last year saw a record 520,000 migrants attempt to traverse the gap.

    1. The Darién must continue to be a great green lung, not only for us but for the entire region. We must defend it and take care of it. Its biodiversity cannot be put at risk by illicit activities.
    2. I understand that there are deep-rooted reasons for migration, but each country has to resolve its problems.
    3. The numbers of illegal immigrants passing through the Darién are shocking.
    4. We cannot continue financing the economic and social costs that massive illegal immigration generates for the country, along with the consequent connection of international criminal organisations.
    5. Panama will no longer be a transit country for illegals.
    6. I won't allow Panama to be an open path for thousands of people who enter our country illegally, supported by an international organization related to drug trafficking and human trafficking.
