Bush to welcome Panama's Torrijos Sept 17
 

 

WASHINGTON
Petroleumworld.com, Aug 29, 2008

US President George W. Bush will welcome Panama President Martin Torrijos on September 17 for talks on efforts to expand US trade with Latin America, the White House said Thursday.
   
"This visit, following President Torrijos visit last May, underscores the ongoing deep friendship and cooperation between the United States and Panama," Bush spokeswoman Dana Perino said.
   
Bush "looks forward to discussing a range of issues with President Torrijos, including our common commitment to the United States-Panama Trade Promotion Agreement, expanding free trade and strengthening democracy throughout the region, enhancing security cooperation," said Perino.
   
The US president was expected to seize the opportunity to press US lawmakers to approve the US -Colombia free trade agreement stalled by opposition Democrats.
   
"There should be no question that trade contributes to economic growth and creates jobs here at home for American workers and farmers," said Perino.
   
"And when Congress gets back from its recess, it should continue this momentum by passing the Colombia free trade agreement and the other FTAs we have negotiated," she said.
