Mexico, Costa Rica
Sign Co-Operation Agreement
Mexico and
Costa Rica reached an agreement on
cooperation on Thursday, according to a
statement by Mexico's president's office.
The agreement, that covers cooperation in
such fields as education, science and
tourism, was signed by Mexico's President
Felipe Calderón and his Costa Rican
counterpart Oscar Arias in Costa Rica.
"It gives me great pleasure that we have
managed to achieve this agreement during
this state visit," Calderón said. "With it,
we can broaden and deepen dialogue and
cooperation."
Calderón also reiterated his support for Arias's mediation between the post-coup
interim government of Honduras and
representatives of the deposed Honduran
President Manuel Zelaya.
Arias said the people of Costa Rica see
Mexico as a good friend that has offered
Costa Rica great help.
The two leaders also exchanged views on such
issues as A/H1N1 flu, climate change, the
fight against organized crime and admitting
new members to the Rio Group during the
organization's 2010 Mexico City meeting.
