China to further use Panama canal as important means to encourage global trade - Beijing

Moscow, Jul 10 (Sputnik) China, which actively promotes economic globalization, will further develop friendly relations with Panama and use the Panama Canal to encourage global trade, the office of the Chinese Foreign Ministry's spokesperson told Sputnik ahead of the centenary anniversary since the canal's official opening to commerce, marked on July 12.
