[Panama Mariscos Market | Actually built with support from Japan!?] — A treasure trove of seafood, its roots lie in support from Japan — 📸It's clearly written on the plate in the photo! OBRA FINANCIADA POR EL GOBIERNO JAPONES (Funded by the Japanese government) A TRAVÉS DE LA AGENCIA DE COOPERACIÓN INTERNACIONAL (JICA) (Through the Japan International Cooperation Agency JICA) This shows that the Mariscos Market (Mercado del Marisco) in Panama City was completed in 1995 with support from the Japanese government through JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency)✨ ⸻ 📍[Construction background] In the 1990s, Panama's fishing infrastructure was insufficient, and fishermen could not have a stable sales base, and there were issues with freshness and hygiene management. So, as part of Japan's ODA (Official Development Assistance), JICA cooperated and built a hygienic and efficient market facility 🎌🐟 ⸻ 🗓️ [Construction date] As written on the plaque, it was completed and opened on June 30, 1995 🎉 The mayor of Panama at the time was Mayin Correa. #Panama #PanamaCity #AbsolutelyFreeTrip
