2010 was an important year for bilateral relations. In June, South Korean President Lee Myung-bak visited Panama. Later, in October, he received his Panamanian counterpart Ricardo Martinelli at Cheong Wa Dae for summit talks.[1]

Panamanian citizens do not require visa to travel to South Korea for a maximum of 90 days[5], and conversely, South Koreans do not need a visa to enter Panama for up to 180 days[6].

The Panama-Korea Association was established in 2012 with the purpose of promoting and strengthening commercial, academic, cultural and friendship links between both countries.[7]
