China to Strengthen Friendly Ties with
Costa Rica
China is willing to continuously push
forward its friendly relations with Costa
Rica, a senior official of the Communist
Party of China (CPC) said Thursday. Wang
Jiarui, head of the International Department
of the CPC Central Committee, made the
remarks while meeting with Costa Rican
President Oscar Arias.
The two countries reached broad consensuses
on a number of key issues when Chinese
President Hu Jintao visited Costa Rica last
year, said Wang, adding Hu's visit pointed
out the way for further development of
bilateral friendly ties.
China and Costa Rica have carried out
fruitful cooperation in politics, economy,
education, culture and finance since they
forged diplomatic ties in 2007. Bilateral
cooperation brought tangible benefits to the
two peoples, said Wang.
The Chinese side also expressed appreciation
to Costa Rica for its understanding and
support over issues relating to Taiwan and
Tibet.
Wang said the CPC is ready to strengthen
exchanges with the National Liberation Party
(PLN) led by Arias, so as to continue
strengthening the political and social
foundation for China-Costa Rica friendly
ties.
Arias said his country is willing to join
hands with China in pushing forward the
China-Costa Rica friendly ties and mutually
beneficial cooperation.
Arias also thanked the CPC, the Chinese
government and the Chinese people for their
steadfast support and help to his country.
They also exchanged views on international
and regional issues of common concerns such
as global financial crisis.
Wang started his good-will visit to Costa
Rica on Wednesday at the invitation of the
PLN.
