Visiting Panamanian President Juan Carlos Varela and China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi inaugurated Panama's embassy in Beijing on Thursday.
Varela arrived in the Chinese capital earlier in the day for his state visit which will last until November 22.
The inauguration marks the completion of the two countries establishing embassies in each other's nations.
Diplomatic relations between the two countries were established in June after Panama cut its ties with China's Taiwan, and China’s embassy in Panama was inaugurated in September.
