Panamanian politician blazes a trail for China ties

A Chinese-born Panamanian politician, who acted as a key intermediary for the China-Panama diplomatic relationship, is in many ways blazing a trail for that relationship.

Chen Guoji, advisor to Panamanian President Juan Carlos Varela, is a Panamanian official who still cares deeply for his country of birth.

During two years working at the Panama-China Trade Development Office, Chen devoted himself to promoting friendship between the two countries.
