SUBJECT: COSTA RICA: SANTA CRUZ MINISTERIAL ON SUSTAINABLE
DEVELOPMENT
REF: STATE 191887
Requested demarche (reftel) delivered by Regional Environment
Officer to Environment Ministry Director for International
Cooperation Ruben Munoz on November 30 and by Econoff to Ministry of
External Commerce (Ministerio de Comercio Exterior - COMEX) official
Gabriela Castro. Munoz had no immediate reaction to the demarche.
He observed that the delay in distributing the relevant Summit
documents complicated Costa Rican preparations. He expressed
disappointment that Central American countries had not achieved a
better degree of coordination in the run-up to the Ministerial.
