See below.

There are infinite relative minima due to the objective function periodicity. The near points to the origin are located at

#((f(x,y),x,y,"type"),(0,-pi,-pi,"minimum"),(0,0,0,"minimum"),(0,pi,pi,"minimum"))#

Attached the feasible region plot with the level chart associated to the objective function.
