India–Panama relations refer to the bilateral relations between India and Panama. Panama is the first country in Central America where India established a resident Embassy in 1973. 〔 Panama has an Embassy in New Delhi, and a Consulate-General in Mumbai. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Consular, Trade & Information Offices in India )〕 ==History== The Indian-Panamanian connection is the oldest in the Central American region, dating back to the middle of the 19th century when groups of Indians, particularly Sikh immigrants, came to Panama to work on the construction of Panama railways and later the Panama Canal in the early 20th century.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=India-Panama Relations )〕 There are about 15,000 Indians, including those of Indian origin, in Panama, constituting the largest concentration of overseas Indians in Central America. The Indian community, predominantly from the Gujarat, is mostly involved in wholesale and retail trade. 〔 A Gurdwara was built in 1986 in Panama City under the non-profit organization Sociedad Guru Nanak to serve as a place of worship for the Sikh Community in Panama. The growth of the Indian community has flourished with the constructions of the Gurdwara, Mandir, Mosques and Bahá'í Temple.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Sikhs in Panama )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「India–Panama relations」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
