I have just landed in Panama City to begin a historic official visit to Panama and Costa Rica. This is the first-ever visit by an Israeli President to Panama, a nation that is a true friend and partner of the State of Israel. I look forward to meeting with my friend President @JoseRaulMulino as we work to strengthen the deep and enduring ties between our nations. I also thank my friend Foreign Minister @javierachapma for the warm welcome here this morning. In both Panama and Costa Rica, I will meet with the leadership and members of the local Jewish communities, which are a special bridge between our nations and peoples. This important visit demonstrates the renewed momentum in Israel’s ties with countries across Latin America to the benefit of both our regions.(יצחק הרצוג Isaac Herzog)
