Costa
Rica and Qatar reached a cooperation
agreement on Wednesday,
during the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin
Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani's visit to
Costa Rica.
President
Rodrigo Chaves-Robles and Sheikh Tammin
signed an agreement for a bilateral
partnership in sports, culture, and
diplomacy during a meeting held at Casa
Presidencial in San José's Zapote
District. They also established the Joint
Ministerial Committee for Commercial
Partnership.
According
to President Chaves, Qatar's investment in
Costa Rica will benefit the country.
"Economists understand that investment
must be proportional to a nation's
savings," he added. "They (referring to
Qatar) are saving a lot of financial
resources from the oil and gas they
produce. They export investment by
investing funds abroad."
The Sheikh's agenda included unveiling a 30-foot-tall Anti-Corruption Excellence Award sculpture, installed in San José's La Sabana Metropolitan Park.
The
sculpture, designed by Ahmed Al Bahrani, a
modern Iraqi artist and sculptor,
symbolizes combating corruption and
implementing the key measures outlined in
the United Nations Convention Against
Corruption.
