Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro announced he was restoring flights to Panama, one of the most popular connections for getting in and out of his crisis-stricken nation.
Speaking from a business expo in Caracas, Maduro announced that the route will resume Friday as part of an agreement he reached with his Panamanian counterpart, Juan Carlos Varela. Both nations will restore ambassadors and form a commission to help defuse an escalating diplomatic feud that saw Venezuela suspend economic ties with Panama.
