James Bond no longer has diplomatic status - at least not in Panama. The government Friday cancelled 121 diplomatic passports issued by the previous presidential administration, including one extended to actor Sean Connery. | Does a diplomatic passport give you diplomatic immunity? |
The cancellations came as part of a massive effort to clean up and update the Foreign Relation Department's files, according to Vice-President Samuel Lewis Navarro. The vice-president described the Scotland-born Connery as a friend of former president Mireya Moscoso. Connery travelled to Panama in March 2003, visited a coffee plantation belonging to Moscoso and received an award from the then-president. |
