The secretary of state (unnamed in the transcript) said in Costa Rica that the country is an important partner for the United States and described it as a potential model for the region.
The official said the partnership and shared work are a priority for U.S. foreign policy. "It's an honor to be here in Costa Rica. It's a country that I believe is an important partnership for The United States, and there's so much to work together on. As I said, 1 of my priorities as secretary of state is to ensure that we have a foreign policy in which we are strong in providing support to our allies, those that work so closely with us, and in the case of Costa Rica, serve as a model to what we hope the region and other countries around the world will 1 day become. Thank you," the speaker said.
