Panama Will Insist on Resource Ownership in Cobre Copper Mine Talks

Panama is taking a strong stance in negotiations regarding the Cobre Panama copper mine, insisting that any agreement must clearly establish the country's ownership of the land and its resources. This is significant as it reflects Panama's commitment to safeguarding its natural assets and ensuring that the benefits of such a valuable resource are retained within the country. The $10 billion project has the potential to greatly impact the local economy, and Panama's assertiveness in these talks could set a precedent for future resource management.
