Spain's Public Works Minister Ana Pastor (R) and Panama's President Ricardo Martinelli speak before delivering their statements after a privet meeting at the presidential palace in Panama City January 6, 2014. Pastor began a day full of meetings by holding discussions with officials for building consortium Grupo Unidos por el Canal, which is fronted by Spanish construction company Sacyr. Spanish Ambassador Jesus Silva said his government would provide no financial help to Sacyr in sorting out the row overshadowing one of the world's most important maritime cargo routes.
