Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi met in New York on Friday with his
Costa Rican counterpart, Bruno Stagno, and the two agreed to
further deepen bilateral ties.
The establishment of full diplomatic relations three months ago
has brought bilateral ties to a correct path, and exchanges and
cooperation have been conducted in many fields, Yang said at the
meeting on the sidelines of the 62nd session of the United Nations
General Assembly.
China highly values its relations with Costa Rica and will do
everything in its power to continue advancing the development of
comprehensive and friendly ties between the two countries.
Stagno, for his part, expressed satisfaction over the
development of bilateral ties since the establishment of diplomatic
relations.
Costa Rica wishes to strengthen high-level exchanges and
friendly cooperation, he said.
On Friday, Yang also met with Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign
Minister Pham Gia Khiem of Vietnam, Foreign Minister Song Min-soon
of South Korea, Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier of Germany
