Panama put its diplomatic relations with Venezuela "on hold" and will withdraw its diplomatic personnel from the country until a full review of Sunday's presidential election results is conducted, President Jose Raul Mulino said on Monday.

Earlier in the day, Panama joined eight other Latin American countries calling for an emergency meeting of the Organization of American States (OAS) permanent council, citing concerns about Venezuela's election, in which President Nicolas Maduro and opposition rival Edmundo Gonzalez both claimed victory.
