ROC Foreign Minister in Costa
Rica to Preside Over Regional
Meeting
Taiwan's Minister of Foreign
Affairs, Tan Sun Chen, arrived
in Costa Rica Wednesday to
preside over a working meeting
of ROC diplomatic mission chiefs
in the region.
Michel Lu, of the Ministry
of Foreign Affairs (MOFA), said
that the ministry had not
mentioned Chen's visit to Costa
Rica in an earlier press release
for fear of possible obstruction
from China.
Lu said Costa Rican President
Abel Pacheco and Minister of
Foreign Relations Roberto Tovar
will host a dinner in Chen's
honor during his stay. Chen's
activities in Costa Rica were
arranged through official
consultations, Lu said, pointing
out that wire reports that
Chen's visit is "accidental" are
not true.
Chen and his entourage are
scheduled to return to Taiwan
Friday, Lu added.
