Panama's President Jose Raul Mulino on Monday said he was withdrawing diplomatic staff from Venezuela because Sunday's presidential elections in Venezuela damaged the already fragile relations between the two countries.

Mulino said at a press conference that diplomatic ties between the two countries will be "suspended" until a full review of Venezuela's computerized voting system and vote count confirms that the popular will of the Venezuelan people was fulfilled.
