SAN JOSE, Costa Rica — Costa Rica said Wednesday that it will re-establish diplomatic ties with Cuba, and El Salvador’s new president-elect promised to do the same.
Those are the only Central American nations that do not recognize the communist government. Costa Rica broke off ties with Havana in 1961, while El Salvador has not recognized the island’s government since 1959, when Fidel Castro came to power.
Costa Rican President Oscar Arias said his country recognizes governments that are politically different from his own, including China. Salvadoran President- elect Mauricio Funes said he wants to boost trade with Cuba.
