Cuba Agrees To
Restore Diplomatic Ties with Costa Rica
The Cuban government on Thursday agreed to
re-establish diplomatic ties with Costa
Rica, after Costa Rican President Oscar
Arias announced the decision on Wednesday.
Cuba's decision is "in accord with its call
for integrity and unity with the brotherly
people of Latin America and the Caribbean,"
the Cuban Foreign Ministry said in a
statement.
The restoration of the ties should be based
on "the respect for international law and
the principles of the United Nations
Charter, such as sovereignty, equality, the
peaceful settlement of disputes, the respect
for territorial integrity and
self-determination, and the non-interference
into the internal affairs of other states,"
the statement said.
San Jose and Havana suspended ties on Sept.
9, 1961 after Costa Rica took a unilateral
decision.
Arias on Wednesday announced the decision to
re-establish diplomatic ties with Cuba after
a 48-year hiatus.
He said the diplomatic ties with Cuba were
broken during the Cold War era, but the
world has changed since then and the
decision of restoring the ties is
justifiable at this moment.
