Costa Rica, China To Strengthen Scientific Research Cooperation

Costa Rica and China signed a statement of understanding on Thursday to develop joint scientific researches.

The understanding was signed between the Costa Rican National Institute of Biodiversity (INBio) and the Chinese Academy of Science (CAS), within the framework of the Science and Technology Cooperation Agreement signed by the two countries earlier this year.

INBio officer Eric Mata said the two sides could extend their opportunities to improve human resources, joint projects, as well as infrastructure and equipment development.

INBio scientific coordinator of Bio-prospect Guiselle Tamayo said Costa Rica could offer China all its knowledge and experience on biodiversity conservation, which is helpful to create sustainable economic development.

Tamayo also said his country could use China's strength on medicinal plants and microorganism study, which are the fields Costa Rica interested in.
