Royal Enfield Expands Footprint in Panama
Sharing details of the launch, the embassy described it as “a win for India’s export story, from Chennai to Ciudad de Panama.” The post further highlighted Panama’s market conditions, noting that Panama’s open economy and dollar-based pricing make it one of the most affordable Royal Enfield markets in the region.
The embassy also underlined Royal Enfield’s long industrial legacy, stating that it is one of the oldest motorcycle brands in continuous production since 1901. It added that the company’s expanding footprint in Panama reflects the growing confidence of Indian brands in Latin America.
India Promotes Cultural Diplomacy in Panama
Alongside commercial outreach, India also marked its cultural diplomacy efforts through International Day of Yoga 2025 celebrations. The embassy shared glimpses of a yoga event held at the archaeological ruins of Old Panama City.
Earlier in January, the Indian Embassy highlighted the “5Ts of Togetherness” between India and Panama Traditions, Trade, Technology, Tourism and Talent as the main pillars of cooperation between the two countries.
India-Panama Relations Continue to Grow
On the occasion of India’s Republic Day celebrations earlier this year, Panama’s Minister of Presidency Juan Carlos Orillac represented the President of Panama as the guest of honour. Around 500 guests attended the event celebrating the spirit of India-Panama friendship.
India and Panama continue to enjoy cordial and friendly relations based on mutual understanding, growing bilateral trade and comprehensive cooperation.
