The Ministry of Culture (MiCultura) and the co-ordinating team for the production of the nomination dossier for the Transitory Colonial Route of Panama have been welcomed by ICOMOS INTL's report. Due to its positive recognition that Panama has been able to demonstrate two cultural criteria that underpin the Special Universal Value and recognizes that it meets the criteria of authenticity and integrity. Thus, the proposal of The Transitory Colonial Route of Panama (RCTP) has great potential for its registration with the World Heritage List at the next meeting of the World Heritage Committee held in New Delhi in 2024.

The RCTP includes its phase I, San Lorenzo Castle, Cruces Way, Old Panama Archaeological Site and Panama City Casco Antiguo, while phase II includes the fortifications of Portobelo and the Royal Way.

At the Panamanian cultural level, there was confidence, as the proposal was very positive, as the UNESCO's advisory body had requested that the Panamanian State should address minor recommendations that could be responded to by Panama before and at the Fourteenth Session of the World Heritage Committee to be held from 21 to 31 July in New Delhi, India.

The Minister of Culture, Giselle González Villarrúe, stated that today is a special day for the Ministry of Culture (MiCultura) and the heritage team that accompanies us in the final accountability about a great process that has been undertaken at the national and state level that is registration of the Transitory Colonial Route, that will give them a great opportunity for economic development through historic and cultural tourism but that above all helps with this potential registration, as well as the existing heritage sites such as the Casco Antiguo, the archaeological site of Old Panama.

Linette Montenegro, National Director of Cultural Heritage, said it's important for the creative economy and cultural tourism. To be registered with the World Heritage List the UNESCO would recognize that the proposed site has an exceptional universal value, that's to say its value is important to understand the history of the world.
