The Mayor of Panama City, José Blandón, the Chairman of EFE, José Antonio Vera, the General Manager of FCC Construcción in Latin America, José María Torroja, and the President of FCC Construcción in Central America, Manuel A Olivares Blázquez, were in charge of inaugurating the photography exhibition, "EFE: 75 Years in Pictures. 25 Years building Latin America", in the Panamanian capital. Other attendees included the Spanish Ambassador in the Central American country, Jesús Silva Fernández and the Panama Canal Administrator, Jorge Luis Quijano, among other familiar faces.

For one month the capital's City of Knowledge Foundation will play host to the photography exhibition which is sponsored by the Citizen Services Group. The exhibition consists of a selection of 75 pictures from more than 17 million photographs which make up the Graphic Archives of the public agency.

The photographs capture influential moments from various parts of the world, realities that have been experienced and that have changed the lives of thousands of people, ever since the first photograph was taken by EFE, however the civil works which were constructed in different Latin American countries are also on display.
In the section dedicated to the infrastructure constructed throughout the last century in Latin America, emblematic buildings are featured including the Aztec Stadium in Mexico, the Panama Metro, the Mexico-Puebla motorway or the Panama Canal Expansion Project.

The Chairman of EFE, José Antonio Vera, thanked FCC for their involvement in this exhibition and highlighted that several of the photographs on display have become pieces with prominent monetary importance that have contributed to the economic development of the region's countries. This exhibition has also been inaugurated in Costa Rica, and in the coming months will travel to other Latin American countries such as Chile, Peru, Colombia or Mexico.
