The construction of a railway line linking Panama City with David in Chiriqui will bring contributions in tourism and economic benefits to the province of Chiriquí said President Juan Carlos Varela after flying over the proposed route with engineers from a Chinese company preparing a feasibility study.

Speaking  at the opening of the  63rd International David Fair Varela said: "Without a doubt, it is a very simple and achievable project  based on the cost per kilometer.”

Varela said he flew over the area with four engineers from the Chinese company Railway Desing. Which has been involved in major line constructions around the world. ."It will soon be a reality for all the Chiricans and for all of Panama,"  he said

Now, it is up to Desing to present the feasibility plan and the right track.

The people in charge of the study have already "clearly" identified the exits and stops that would be made, said Varela.
