China Will Build Costa
Rica's National Stadium
Costa Rica's Foreign
Minister Bruno Stagno
and China's ambassador
in San José, Wang
Xiaoyuan, interchanged
notes on Friday for
China to build Costa
Rica's new National
Stadium.
The diplomatic act
officialized the mission
headed by Chinese
specialists to study the
plan to build this
Central American
country's new National
Stadium, expected to be
concluded in late 2009.
"It is Costa Rica's most
important sports
infrastructure," said
Costa Rica's Health and
Sports vice minister
Osvaldo Pandolfo.
The construction of the
40,000-seat stadium
forms part of the
accords signed between
the presidents of Costa
Rica and China, Oscar
Arias and Hu Jintao,
respectively, during
Arias' first visit to
the Asian country in
October of 2007.
"This is the first step
to comply and follow up
the accords and to
benefit Costa Rica's
people. We also expect
it is a friendship
symbol between both
countries," said Wang.
Stagno highlighted that
"all the accords signed
during President Arias'
visit to Beijing
contribute to strengthen
the relations between
both countries."
