索萨大使来访

美国巴拿马工商协进会会长索萨大使週四中午来访国际贸易中心,我们热情地接待这位资深外交官,并且进行了亲切友善之交流。

索萨大使曾任巴拿马驻休斯敦总领事及驻美国大使,在他的外交生涯中最令人印象深刻的是在其任职驻美大使期间代表巴拿马成立临时流亡政府，一直到美国入侵巴拿马抓走了当时之总统而结束内战。在他驻休斯敦总领事任内曾经担任过外交领事团团长,他在外交界之关係非常良好。

如今他组成美巴工商会每年定期组成工商投资团前往巴拿马及中南美洲各国进行交流访问,全面推动区域性经济之整合和繁荣。

国际贸易中心和美南集团及环球第一银行将计划展开对墨西哥及巴拿马之经贸交流,并辅导有意前往该地区投资之工商人士进行搭桥铺路之工作。

我们非常欣幸在展开美国对中南美洲各国之工作将跨出一大步，也是我们成立国际贸易中心之初衷和宗旨。 索萨大使也同意出任我们的高级顾问一职，共同為今后之对外交流而努力。

 Ambassador Sosa’s Visit

Ambasador Juan Sosa, President of the U.S-Panama Business Association, visited the International Trade Center at noon on Thursday. We warmly received the senior diplomat and had a very cordial and friendly exchange.

Ambasador Sosa has served as the Consul General of Panama in Houston and as the Panamanian Ambasador to the United States. The most impressive thing in his diplomatic career was that he established a provisional government-in-exile for Panama until the U.S. invaded Panama during that time and captured the president. He also has served as the Dean of the Consular Corps of Houston.

Now he has formed the U.S.-Panama Business Association and has visited Panama and other Latin American countries to promote trade and tourism.

In today's discussion, we agreed to promote events together and the ambasador agreed to serve as our advisor.
