WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Vice President Joe Biden will be ready to discuss with Panamanian officials next week the disposal of American chemical weapons left on an island off Panama's coast during the 1940s when he visits the Central American nation, U.S. officials said on Friday.
The issue of the chemical munitions on San Jose island, located 60 miles (100 km) off Panama's Pacific coast, has been an irritant in relations between the two countries.
