20 countries will attend Panama meeting on migration

At least 20 countries have confirmed their attendance at a regional meeting on migration to be held from April 19 to 20 in Panama and that will include the participation of the head of US diplomacy, Antony Blinken.

“For more than a year we have been working with the United States and other important American partners to find common ground and areas of articulation to address this phenomenon and avoid an unprecedented humanitarian crisis in the region,” said Foreign Affairs Minister Erika Mouynes.

In addition to Blinken, the Secretary of Border Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, will participate.

The meeting takes place two months before the Summit of the Americas, in Los Angeles, California, with the theme “Building a sustainable, resilient and equitable future for our hemisphere.”
