Foreign ministers of Iran, Nicaragua sign comprehensive plan for cooperation

Foreign ministers of Iran and Nicaragua have signed a comprehensive plan to improve bilateral cooperation.

Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and his visiting Nicaraguan counterpart Denis Moncada Colindres signed the document in Tehran on Sunday.

Earlier in the day, the top Iranian and Nicaraguan diplomats discussed possible ways to boost mutual relations and the latest regional and international developments.

Amir-Abdollahian met with Colindres on the sidelines of the 77th United Nations General Assembly session in New York in September.

Back in September 2021, Iran’s President Ebrahim Raeisi talked on the phone with his Nicaraguan counterpart, Daniel Ortega, and underlined the need for close cooperation with Nicaragua and other Latin American states on the world stage to foil US sanctions against independent nations.

“Close cooperation between the two countries in international conventions is key to neutralizing the American sanctions and make it costly for the US regime to take measures against independent states and nations, especially Iran and Nicaragua,” the Iranian chief executive said.
