Panama has observer status in some areas.

Adoption of a treaty of friendship and non-aggression by the democracies of Central America would formalize a regional security relationship that reinforces the economic framework being pursued through the Central American common market and CAFTA. To help reactivate the Central American Common Market and reduce temporary imbalances in the countries' balance of payments, the European Economic Community has allocated ECUs (European Currency Unit) 120 million (about $163 million) to establish a subregional payment system, with adequate funding and a credit system to facilitate payments. The programme of immediate action includes two high-priority areas: external debt servicing, and financing the reactivation of the Central American Common Market and the temporary disequilibrium of the balance of payments of individual countries. |
