Panama's Ownership Stance: The Panamanian government, represented by Finance Minister Felipe Chapman, insists that any agreement to restart the Cobre Panama copper mine must clearly state that the land and resources belong to Panama.
Public Sentiment and Economic Impact: Public opinion towards the mine has improved, with only 50% of recent polls showing negative views, and reopening the mine could create thousands of jobs and significantly boost the economy, as it previously contributed about 5% to the country's GDP.
