Panama and Venezuela to restore consular services in each other's countries
PANAMA CITY (AP) — Panama and Venezuela will restore consular services in each other's countries in the coming days, Panama's Foreign Affairs Ministry said late Thursday, nearly a year after Panama suspended them following questionable Venezuelan elections that reelected President Nicolás Maduro. 'Due to the imperative need to attend to the consular issues of their citizens,' the two countries agreed to reactivate their consular services, the ministry said in a statement. The diplomatic break came July 29, 2024, when Panama pulled its diplomats from Caracas and announced it was suspending relations with Venezuela. It followed elections the day before in which the opposition declared fraud and offered evidence that Maduro had been roundly defeated. Panama President José Raúl Mulino gave his support to the Venezuelan opposition candidate Edmundo González Urrutia, who had visited Panama weeks earlier. Venezuela suspended flights between both countries, including those by Panamanian national carrier Copa Airlines. Flights were reestablished May 22 this year. Panama had also insisted that Venezuela agree to receive migrants from its country moving south through Panama, but there was no mention of that issue in Thursday's statement.

Count Kansas City Chiefs superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes among those who want Kansas City Royals third baseman Maikel Garcia to be part of the 2025 MLB All-Star at Truist Park in Cumberland, Georgia, this coming July. Advertisement The three-time Super Bowl champion showed his support for the Venezuelan by sharing a post made by the Royals, asking fans online to vote for Garcia. The 25-year-old Garcia also had a big night on Wednesday against the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, as he went 3-for-4 with two runs scored and four RBIs. His three-run home run in the third inning erased a two-run Kansas City deficit and put the Royals in front for good, as they came away with a 6-3 victory. With Mahomes' endorsement, the hope is that Garcia will get more people to help him become an All-Star in his fifth season in the big leagues. Garcia has been one of the Royals' top contributors this season, as he leads all qualified Kansas Royals hitters with a .318 batting average to go with eight home runs and 36 RBIs.
