A morning with Republicans Abroad in Panama

Day 290 Wednesday (Miercoles) - Panama City

Breakfast this morning at Sanborns in the Multi-Plaze Mall with the Republicans Abroad Panama Chapter. RAP is a group of like minded individuals focused on making sure Republicans get into office in the US and to mobilize Republicans here in Panama to vote.

Today's meeting was a special event featuring Former Ambassador to the USA Roberto Alfaro. Ambassador Alfaro will speak about his past experience in Washington while Ambassador from Panama during the Free Trade Agreement talks with the Bush administration -- most of which was accomplished during his tenure there. He will also speak about his present responsibilities as Chairman of the Council of  the Americas here in Panama as liaison with all of the American Chambers of Commerce in the Americas.


Mr. Ambassador spoke about the 20 years it took to work on and get the Free Trade Agreement signed by the USA, sounds like quick Congress action :)


Mr. Ambassador also talked about the Canal Expansion and how it will affect both Panama and the USA.


The RAP (Republicans Abroad Panama) Group meets every third Wednesday of the month for a 7:30am breakfast in Panama City.
