Azerbaijan, an energy-rich South Caucasian country, is keen on developing good political and economic relations with Latin American states, including Costa Rica.

Costa Rica, whose Foreign Minister Manuel Gonzalez Sans is on an official visit to Baku, announced that it will open an embassy in Azerbaijan.

Gonzalez Sans presented the head of the diplomatic mission to Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov in Baku on June 23, the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry reported.

Mammadyarov welcomed the decision of the Government of Costa Rica to establish an embassy in Baku.

The foreign ministers of the two countries noted satisfaction with the development of relations between the two countries, in particular the level of political dialogue and mutual understanding.

Mammadyarov said his visit to Costa Rica in early June this year and political consultations held there would contribute to the development of cooperation between the two countries in various fields.

A number of documents on strengthening cooperation were signed during the Azerbaijani FM’s visit to San Jose.

Mammadyarov’s visit to Latin America was also remembered with the signing of an agreement on issuing visas to those having diplomatic, official passports. They also agreed to continue to make efforts to further strengthen the legal framework between the two countries, especially in the economic and humanitarian spheres.

The ministers also emphasized the wide range of opportunities for mutually beneficial cooperation in the economic-trade, tourism, energy, logistics, ports and maritime, investment and humanitarian spheres and noted the importance of promotion of direct contacts among business communities.

They reiterated their mutual respect and support to each other’s territorial integrity, sovereignty and inviolability of internationally recognized borders. They also emphasized inadmissibility of attempts to change the internationally recognized borders of states by use of force.

Over 20 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between Costa Rica and Azerbaijan, the two countries have systematically developed relations and a political dialogue, which facilitated the intensification of mutual visits, playing a huge role in strengthening the friendly relations and cooperation between Costa Rica and Azerbaijan.

The most important point for strengthening the relations between the two countries is Costa Rica’s decision of establishing an embassy in Baku, which must give an additional impetus to the strengthening of mutual cooperation and contribute to an increase in the tourist flow from Azerbaijan to the Latin America.
