The President of the Republic, José Raúl Mulino, today issued a clarification through his personal social media regarding rumors about possible trips by Legislative Branch officials to Taiwan. In the published message, Mulino expressed: "In light of reports of potential trips by Legislative Branch officials to Taiwan, such trips do not have the support or approval of my government." With this statement, the head of state made it clear that, if carried out, such movements do not have the official backing of his administration. It is important to recall that Panama broke diplomatic relations with Taiwan in 2017, when the country decided to establish diplomatic ties with the People's Republic of China.
