Recently, multiple Chinese diaspora associations in Panama have jointly called on the government to prioritize and accelerate the restoration and preservation of the ‘Chinese Park’ (Parque Chino). Located in the historic Chinatown district of Panama City, the park was established as a cultural landmark to honor the contributions of Chinese immigrants to Panama’s national development. Since the early 20th century, Chinese immigrants have played a vital role in constructing the Panama Railway and Canal and in advancing the country’s commercial growth—contributions symbolized by this park.However, due to years of neglect, the park has suffered from deteriorating facilities, poor sanitation, and damage to its cultural elements, sparking strong concern within the local Chinese community. In response, over ten organizations—including the Panama Chinese Chamber of Commerce and the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association—issued a joint statement emphasizing that the Chinese Park belongs not only to the Chinese community but also represents an integral part of Panama’s multicultural heritage deserving of official recognition and investment.Representatives of these groups urged the government to include the park in urban renewal initiatives and involve the community in its redesign and management, transforming it into a showcase for China-Panama friendship and cultural exchange. The initiative has garnered support from several local politicians and cultural organizations, who view the park’s restoration as a step toward greater social inclusivity and historical awareness.
近日，多个巴拿马侨团联合发声，呼吁政府重视并加快对‘华人公园’（Parque Chino）的修缮与保护工作。该公园位于巴拿马城历史悠久的唐人街区域，是为纪念华人移民对巴拿马国家建设所作贡献而设立的重要文化地标。自20世纪初以来，华人移民在巴拿马铁路、运河工程及商业发展中发挥了关键作用，华人公园正是这段历史的象征。然而，近年来由于缺乏维护，公园设施老化、环境脏乱，部分文化元素遭到破坏，引发当地华人社区强烈不满。为此，包括巴拿马华商总会、中华总会馆在内的十余个侨团发表联合声明，强调华人公园不仅属于华人社群，更是巴拿马多元文化遗产的一部分，应得到官方应有的尊重与投入。侨团代表表示，希望政府将公园纳入城市更新计划，并邀请社区参与设计与管理，使其成为展示中巴友好关系与文化交流的窗口。此举也获得部分本地政界人士和文化组织的支持，认为修复华人公园有助于增强社会包容性与历史认同感。
