According to the Ambassador of Costa Rica to China, Marco Vinicio Ruiz, the delegation of 100 businessmen will come from Zhejiang, one of China's most industrialized provinces, meaning that it will open up important investment opportunities. The group will be headed by the Governor of the province, Lu Zushan.

"Zhejiang is characterized by a boom of small and medium entrepreneurs and investors in areas such as food. There is no doubt that President Xi Jinping's visit will be a great prelude to the tour of 100 Chinese entrepreneurs. The investors will get to know us as a country," said Ruiz.

Ruiz said that to encourage the arrival of Chinese entrepreneurs, Costa Rica hopes that during the visit of the Asian President they will finish laying the foundations of the proposed Special Economic Zone, which consists in integrally developing a Costa Rican region with the aim of making it attractive for Chinese firms to set up their businesses there.
