The president of Panama, José Raúl Mulino, called the elected president of Chile, José Antonio Kast, yesterday to 'wish him the best' while hoping to 'continue strengthening ties' between the two countries 'based on all the good we already have in common'. Mulino wrote about this on X. Last Sunday evening, both Mulino and the Panamanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs congratulated the elected president of Chile and wished him 'to achieve the objectives set', as well as to Chilean society for its 'exemplary civic and democratic behavior during the electoral process'. The far-right José Antonio Kast, who was leading in the polls for the second round of Chile's presidential election, defeated the left-wing Jeannette Jara, a unified left-wing candidate and former Minister of Labor of the outgoing President Gabriel Boric, by a wide margin. 'We hope to meet soon and continue strengthening ties between our countries based on all the good we already have in common and to generate more opportunities for both nations!'
