巴拿马否认对被扣押运河港口的仲裁无视, 理由是宪法问题和法律延误. Panama denies ignoring arbitration over seized Canal ports, citing constitutional concerns and legal delays.

巴拿马总统否认了CC Hutchison巴拿马港口公司的指控, 称政府无视对两座运河港口征收仲裁案的说法. 他声称巴拿玛已经聘请国际律师并要求由于短暂通知而延期. Panama’s president denied claims by CK Hutchison’s Panama Ports Company that the government ignored arbitration over the seizure of two Canal ports, asserting Panama had hired international lawyers and sought a delay due to short notice. 政府表示这违宪. 据报道, The move followed a January court ruling voiding the port concession, which the government says was unconstitutional. 公司称此次收购违法, 并提出20亿美元的索赔. 巴拿马则完全控制运河. PPC, which operated the ports since 1997, called the takeover illegal and filed a $2 billion claim, while Panama maintained full control over the canal. 由于美中紧张关系以及港口运营和外国影响的法律争端, 这场纠纷引起了人们的注意. The dispute has drawn attention amid U.S.-China tensions and ongoing legal battles over port operations and foreign influence.
