Costa Rican President Luis Guillermo Solís said the Tuxtla Summit was not about the region vs. the United States, but rather about seeking joint solutions to common problems.
Solís described the aid from the U.S. government as “the biggest assistance granted in the last 30 years” and a reflection of the good relations between the two countries.
President Luis Guillermo Solís will meet Monday with U.S. Vice President Joseph Biden in Washington D.C. to talk about security, migration and green energy.
In what they nervously hope will be the successful conclusion to a months-long odyssey through South and Central America, the first group of 180 Cubans left Costa Rica on Tuesday, landed in El Salvador and then made it further north to Guatemala by bus after traveling through the night.
