Costa Rica and Spain have signed two
cooperation agreements to promote the
development of their fishing and aquiculture
sectors, a senior Costa Rican government
official said on Tuesday.

poverty, and promoting technology exchanges.
Flores also said both countries were
interested in cooperation on research,
promotion of production, the sustainable
management of the environment and fishing.
According to the agreements, Spain will

sure that our commercial ties will be
boosted," Flores added.

Rican Fishing Vice Minister Roman Solera and
Spain's Environment, Agriculture and Marine
