Colombian Foreign Minister, Luis Gilberto Murillo has said his country won’t shut its border with Panama along the Darien gap.
Digital Journal reports that the comments came to dissipate fears of people since the newly–elected president of Panama, Jose Raul Mulino had promised to shut down the Darien Gap if elected.
The Darien Gap is a dense and dangerous angle that has become a major route for migration to the Unted States.
The minister said, “On the contrary, what we have to offer is more humanitarian outlets for this population that crosses through that area.”
The minister said the government of Colombia intended having a meeting with the freshly elected president of Panama before his July 1 inauguration to discuss migration.
