The Costa Rican Ministry of Foreign Affairs (CancillerĂ­a Costa Rica) shared updates on its official Twitter account on February 25, 2026, regarding recent diplomatic activities and initiatives. The tweets focused on international cooperation in security and the promotion of the French language within Costa Rica.

In a tweet posted at 17:29 UTC, CancillerĂ­a Costa Rica stated: “TambiĂ©n acordaron profundizar la cooperaciĂ³n en seguridad y lucha contra el narcotrĂ¡fico, con foco en intercambio de informaciĂ³n y seguridad portuaria.” [February 25, 2026].

Another post published at 17:35 UTC highlighted a meeting between Vice Minister Alejandro Solano Ortiz and Louise Mushikiwabo, Secretary General of La Francophonie. The tweet read: ” El viceministro Alejandro Solano Ortiz se reuniĂ³ con Louise Mushikiwabo, secretaria general de la FrancofonĂ­a, para reafirmar el compromiso de Costa Rica con la promociĂ³n del francĂ©s y los valores de la FrancofonĂ­a. @OIFrancophonie” [February 25, 2026].

A subsequent message from the same day further emphasized these efforts: ” Costa Rica es uno de los pocos paĂ­ses de AmĂ©rica Latina donde el francĂ©s es obligatorio en secundaria.
Fortalecimiento de vĂ­nculos polĂ­ticos y cooperaciĂ³n con la OIF
Programas de formaciĂ³n en francĂ©s para docentes y diplomĂ¡ticos”
[February 25, 2026].

Costa Rica’s engagement with the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie (OIF) reflects ongoing policies to strengthen cultural ties and educational programs involving the French language. These efforts are part of broader diplomatic actions aimed at enhancing political relationships and international cooperation in areas such as security.
