This contributes to the safety of Panama and continues to make it the Best Place to Retire.
A preliminary agreement on the bases was reached recently in New York between Panamanian President Ricardo Martinelli and US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

A final treaty is expected to be inked in the coming days, reported Panama’s La Prensa newspaper, according to Russia’s RIA Novosti.

“The US and Panama will sign before October 30 an agreement on the deployment of two naval bases on the pacific coast of our country to fight international drug-trafficking,” Minister of Government and Justice Jose Raul Mulino said Sunday.

“One of the bases will be located in Bahia Pina…450 kilometers [280 miles] east of the capital, Panama City, and another one – in Punta Coca about 350 km [217 miles] west of the capital,” Mulino added.

The US dismantled all its bases in Panama and withdrew its military forces from the country at the end of 1999 in accordance with the Panama Canal treaties.
