Japan Active at Bogota Rejection of Tripartite Pact Predicted

The Colombian Congress is poised to reject the tripartite treaties with the United States and Panama, a move that could prompt new negotiations. Washington would need to reopen talks, but prospects appear doubtful as Colombia and Panama show little interest in revisiting the pact. The matter centers on recognizing Panama's independence and the Atrata trans-Jathmian canal project, with a proposed private capital route under discussion.
