Abstract

This paper aimed at providing a glimpse at the background negotiations between the late Hungarian People’s Republic and Costa Rica, the Central-American small state, that was taking place in UN Palace of New York. Zoltán Szilágyi who was a member of the Hungarian Permanent Mission to the UN and a co-optee of the state security tried to form and maintain a friendly relationship with Jose Louis Redondo deputy leader of the Costa Rican UNO-representation. The Ministry of External Affairs and III/I. (Intelligence) Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs tried to exploit the potential Anti-American sentiments of Redondo in the hope of a later recruitment. The purpose of the latter would have been to reconnoiter the foreign policy of the Unites States toward Latin-America through the ‘backdoor’ at the Soviets requests and, on the other hand, to influence the Costa-Rican political sphere for the sake of an approach to Hungary and the Eastern Bloc in general.
