Costa Rica: Statement by the Spokesperson on the outcome of the presidential elections

The European Union congratulates Laura Fernández Delgado upon her election as President of Costa Rica and the people of Costa Rica for their strong commitment to democracy, as shown by the high voter turnout.

The EU and Costa Rica have a steadfast partnership, which we look forward to continue strengthening, based on common values and interests, including a shared commitment to multilateralism, democracy, human rights, and the rule of law. Costa Rica is one of our most solid partners in multilateral fora in defending a rules-based international order and on advancing the green and digital transitions, including through our Global Gateway investment strategy.

We look forward to working with President Fernández and her administration and remain committed to deepening our relationship in all areas of mutual interest.
