The inauguration of an ophthalmologic center with Cuban help in the Panamanian province of Veraguas was announced in the talks last night, according to Granma daily.

The development of bilateral links was also in the center of the friendly meeting, particularly the Operation Miracle Program, which Torrijos called "a real miracle only possible with Cuban help."

As part of his agenda, the visitor toured the Latin American School of Medicine, where over 10,000 students from 28 countries, including 400 Panamanians, are studying.

In this fourth visit to Cuba since he came into power in 2004, Torrijos has held separate meetings with other Cuban officials, such as Parliament President Ricardo Alarcon, and Government minister Ricardo Cabrisas.
