Panama said at the International Book Fair of Bogotá with an outstanding participation that confirms the growth and projection of its literature at an international level as part of the cultural agenda advanced by the Ministry of Culture, in co-ordination with the Panama Embassy in Colombia and the Panamanian Book House.
