1. (SBU) Pol Counselor delivered reftel talking points to MFA
Deputy Ricardo Duran. Duran told Pol Counselor he was
doubtful that Panama would accept migrants from Guantanamo
but he would check with MFA for a final answer. Comment:
Duran's answer is a diplomatic "no." In recent years, Panama
has shown little receptiveness to refugees, even from
neighboring countries such as Colombia.
