北京召见了马士基和地中海航运公司（MSC）代表，就其航运业务进行会谈，此举发生在巴拿马没收中资企业CK Hutchison运营的港口争端之际。中国外交部未说明召见的具体原因。此前，巴拿马政府对该香港企业港口运营的裁决引发争议。
中国外交部于周二在其网站上发布了一份简短声明，召见马士基和MSC代表讨论“航运业务”，但未提供进一步细节。在中国，此类政府召见通常被视为警告，如果忽略，可能导致进一步行动。
香港企业CK Hutchison已针对巴拿马政府启动法律程序，涉及巴尔博亚港和克里斯托瓦尔港的没收。该公司在一份周五发布的声明中称这些接管“非法”。
巴拿马港口公司（PPC，CK Hutchison子公司）还根据国际商会规则，向巴拿马政府提起国际仲裁，寻求至少20亿美元的损害赔偿。
在接管事件后，北京表示将坚决维护中国企业的合法权益和利益。马士基和MSC均卷入该争端，因为它们位于纠纷中心。此事件与巴拿马运河相关，但声明中未提及伊朗战争冲击的具体细节。

Hong Kong’s CK Hutchison, the conglomerate led by the family of tycoon Li Ka-shing, has pledged to pursue its rights through global legal action while condemning Panama’s “confiscatory actions”.

The move came after a Supreme Court ruling last month that declared unconstitutional the law approving the concession held by CK Hutchison’s subsidiary, Panama Ports Company.
