The President’s telegram reads, in part:
“You are known in Russia and around the world as a respected politician, who has made an important contribution to resolving a number of problems in the Latin American region.
Over your years as president relations between Russia and Costa Rica have undergone steady development in all different areas, and we have laid good ground for the future.
I am sure that our joint efforts will see us continue this policy of building up constructive and fruitful cooperation between our countries and coordinating our positions on global and regional issues in the interests of further strengthening stability and security in Central America.”
