PM Browne Commends Panama’s “Principled” Geopolitical Stance
Prime Minister Gaston Browne has praised the government of Panama for its principled position on maintaining the Caribbean as a Zone of Peace, amid growing global military tensions.
Speaking during the credential ceremony for Ambassador Ana Irene Delgado, Browne said Panama’s foreign policy reflects a commitment to regional stability and sovereignty — values shared by Antigua and Barbuda.
The Prime Minister reaffirmed his government’s belief that small states must advocate for diplomacy, peace, and non-aggression within the hemisphere, noting that “Panama’s voice on these matters remains consistent and courageous.”
This alignment adds a new dimension to the deepening bilateral relationship between the two nations, now poised for expanded cooperation in aviation, logistics, and trade.

[Analysts note that Panama’s foreign policy, shaped by its control of the Panama Canal, often balances great-power interests while defending regional autonomy. Antigua and Barbuda’s alignment with that outlook enhances its credibility as a voice for Small Island Developing States (SIDS) advocating peace and non-aggression. This could strengthen the region’s moral standing at the UN and within the Organization of American States.
