United States Ambassador to Panama

United States Ambassador to Panama

The United States has maintained diplomatic relations with Panama since its independence from Colombia in 1903. (The US encouraged this revolution in order to secure the rights to build and manage the Panama Canal.) The rank of the US chief of mission to Panama was originally Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary, but it was upgraded to Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary in 1939.

Normal diplomatic relations between the United States and Panama have been interrupted only once, from January 10 to April 3 1964, in the aftermath of the Martyrs' Day riots over sovereignty.

William I. Buchanan
Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary [Buchanan presented credentials as “Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary on special mission” in December 1903; he received new credentials as “Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary” only a few days before he was to leave Panama and apparently did not present them. He ceased to act “on special mission,” however, and conducted business in the capacity of “Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary” until his departure.]
