China's Top
Legislator Expects Stable Relations With
Costa Rica
China's top legislator Wu Bangguo Wednesday
pledged China's readiness to develop
sustained and stable relations with Costa
Rica. Wu met with visiting Costa Rican
Legislative Assembly President Francisco
Antonio Pacheco in Ebijing, saying "we will
work with Costa Rica to push forward our
pragmatic cooperation in various areas."
Wu, chairman of the Standing Committee of
the National People's Congress (NPC), told
Pacheco China was ready to work with the
Latin American nation to maintain high level
visits and deepen political trust.
China and Costa Rica established diplomatic
ties in June of 2007. Wu said the relations,
although not long, witnessed rapid growth.
The active cooperation in economy, politics,
culture and other areas brought tangible
interests to the two countries and the two
peoples, he said.
Wu expressed appreciation over Costa Rica's
support to China in issues concerning
Taiwan, Tibet and Xinjiang.
Pacheco spoke highly of China's role in
safeguarding regional and world peace and
common prosperity, saying that his country
would enhance cooperation with China in
economy, trade, science, technology and
other sectors.
He reiterated that Costa Rica would firmly
adhere to the one-China policy.
Pacheco, who is also president of the
National Liberation Party, was here on a
visit at the invitation of the Communist
Party of China from Oct. 16 to 23.
Head of the International Department of the
CPC Central Committee Wang Jiarui also met
with Pacheco on Wednesday, exchanging views
on enhancing party-to-party relations.
