Switzerland and Costa Rica have a large number of bilateral agreements in force. These range from investment protection, visa requirements, technical and scientific cooperation, and aviation, to the exchange of information in tax matters. The EFTA states, Costa Rica and Panama also concluded a free trade agreement in 2014.
The two countries' close diplomatic relations also extend to the multilateral level: both belong to the ACT (Accountability, Coherence and Transparency) group of states, which advocates shared values and ideas at the UN, such as the reform of the UN Security Council and its working methods. Even before Switzerland joined the UN, it worked together with Costa Rica on various initiatives to improve international law.
