China to hold its 1st
trade expo in Costa Rica
The Chinese Council for
International Commerce
will organize trade
exposition in Costa Rica
on August 22-25, the
Chinese embassy in San
José revealed to the
media.
It will be the first
trade fair since the two
countries established
full diplomatic
relations on Jun. 7.
30 companies from
various parts of China
will exhibit their
products.
In 2006, bilateral trade
between the two nations
exceeded us$2.1 billion,
which made China become
Costa Rica's
second-largest trade
partner, following the
United States.
Costa Rica's Foreign
Minister Bruno Stagno
told the media earlier
that a diplomatic
relationship with
Beijing will boost
cooperation and draw
Chinese investment to
Costa Rica, describing
China as "the biggest
market in the world and
an economy with vigorous
growth."
Costa Rica's President
Oscar Arias is preparing
his first official visit
to China which will
include some bilateral
agreements, Stagno
added. |
