This reflects their commitment to developing resilient,

sustainable, and future-oriented economies relying on

innovation, investment, and trade to drive sustainable

development towards further progress, prosperity, and

well-being.

In statements to the Emirates News Agency (WAM) on

the sidelines of the CEPA signing in San Jose, Al Zeyoudi

added, "Costa Rica is one of the most promising

emerging economies in Central America, located at the

crossroads of trade between the Americas. It presents a

significant opportunity for cooperation in sectors such

as logistics and transportation. Its committment to the

green economy also offers opportunities for renewable

energy and ecotourism projects benefiting the private

sector in both countries."

Dr. Al Zeyoudi affirmed that the agreement will grant the

UAE high access to the Costa Rican market, reaching

98% of tariff lines without customs duties or with

reduced customs duties. This includes aluminium,

polyethylene, heavy machinery, ceramics, glass, copper

and its products, iron and steel and their products,

cement, and others.
