On Xi's visit to Costa Rica, Rosales noted that the two nations signed agreements amounting to 1.4 billion US dollars for a state-run refinery and the reconstruction of highways and public transportation.
Rosales spoke highly of the importance of Xi's visit to Costa Rica in view of the fact that the Seventh China-Latin America Business Summit will be held in Costa Rica's capital San Jose in November and Costa Rica will assume in January the rotating presidency of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC), currently held by Cuba.
As for Xi's visit to Mexico, during which the two countries elevated their ties to comprehensive strategic partnership, Rosales said "it is important to highlight that (Mexican) President Enrique Pena Nieto visited China in April during the Boao Forum... Barely two months later, President Xi Jinping has already returned the favor."
