And while the PM is in Panama, Deputy Prime Minister John Briceno is in Cancun, Mexico to meet with ministers of environment from Mexico, Guatemala and Honduras to discuss the second stage of the Meso-American Barrier Reef Project.

Minister of Housing and Human Services Sylvia Flores's stint as PM will end on Sunday when the Prime Minister is expected back.
