Antigua and Barbuda is taking significant steps to enhance its maritime collaboration with Panama, a global leader in logistics and trade. Prime Minister Gaston Browne has appointed Ambassador Sir Ron Sanders to spearhead negotiations between the Antigua Port Authority and Panamanian ports. The discussions aim to explore synergies in shipping, warehousing, and trade facilitation, with the goal of bolstering Antigua’s regional trade presence. ‘There are opportunities to exploit greater logistics between our ports,’ Browne emphasized, highlighting the strategic importance of this partnership. Panama’s unique position as a bridge between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans offers Antigua and Barbuda access to new supply-chain possibilities, particularly as the Caribbean nation continues to modernize its port infrastructure. This initiative underscores Antigua’s commitment to strengthening its economic ties and expanding its role in global trade networks.
