On October 25, 2010, Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi held talks with his Costa Rican counterpart Rene Castro Salazar in Beijing.

During the talks, Yang said China attached great importance to relations with Costa Rica and the development of the ties had been accelerated since the new government of Costa Rica was founded in May. The China-Costa Rica friendship is deeply rooted in the hearts of both peoples. The two countries have coordinated closely on major international issues. China appreciates Costa Rica's firm adherence to the one-China policy and is ready to work with Costa Rica to advance pragmatic cooperation in all fields and push bilateral friendly cooperative relations to a new level, Yang said.

Rene Castro Salazar said since the establishment of diplomatic ties, bilateral relations have become more and more mature. The Costa Rican side is delighted with the important progress made in bilateral ties. The new Costa Rican government attaches great importance to developing ties with China and is ready to further deepen friendly cooperation in all areas. He also reiterated Costa Rica's adherence to the one-China policy.

Both sides also exchanged views on climate change, the reform of the UN Security Council and other international and regional issues of common concern.
