Flap Over New Navy Bases in Panama Continues
(Panama-Guide) By DON WINNER for Panama-Guide.com - Panama's Minister of Government and Justice Jose Raul Mulino further clarified their plans to install new new naval bases along Panama's Pacific coast in order to improve their capability to combat drug trafficking at sea. They will build new facilities at Bahía Piña in the Darién province near the border with Colombia, and in Punta Coca in the province of Veraguas. (See annotated photo map below.) These bases will be used as launching points to search for vessels carrying drugs from South America towards Mexico and markets in the United States.
