PANAMA CITY, Jan. 2 (Xinhua) -- Panamanian President Laurentino Cortizo on Saturday expressed his confidence in the country's economic recovery in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, although he admitted that there will be no way forward if there is no self-discipline among the population.
"To speak of sustained economic recovery with the current social behavior of some Panamanians (who do not abide by health measures) is not realistic," said the president on the opening of the new period of ordinary sessions of the National Assembly.
