Chinchilla Pledges To
Help Nicaraguan Migrants
Costa Rica's President-elect Laura
Chinchilla said Wednesday she will "seek to
improve" ties with Nicaragua, as migration
will be one of her administration's top
priorities.
In her statement to a local television,
Chinchilla recognized the importance of
Nicaraguan manpower in Costa Rica's
agriculture.
The president-elect, who is expected to take
office on May 8, said the issue of the
Nicaraguan migrant in particular would
occupy an important place in her government.
"I think it is important to recognize that
the Nicaraguan people have made important
contributions to the national economy,
mainly in areas where manpower was needed,"
Chinchilla said.
"We have to exert efforts to regulate the
right condition for the Nicaraguans seeking
better living conditions," she added.
Chinchilla said it would be ideal if
Nicaraguan workers arrived in Costa Rica
with legalized documents and confirmed work,
the right conditions to improve their lives. |
