The National Assembly of Nicaragua, controlled by the Sandinista rulers, has ratified agreements signed between Nicaragua and the Islamic Republic of Iran.
These agreements include the creation of a Joint Intergovernmental Commission for economic and commercial cooperation, scientific and technical exchange, and collaboration in medicine, laboratory equipment, and the judiciary.
According to Sandinista legislators, the purpose of these agreements is to strengthen friendship and cooperation for economic development and technical-scientific exchange.
Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, during his visit to Nicaragua, expressed the intention to deepen cooperation in various areas, particularly in science and technology.
Nicaragua has maintained close relations with Iran since President Daniel Ortega returned to power in 2007.
Ortega has been a strong ally of Iran in Latin America, supporting its nuclear program and advocating for disarmament in Israel to prevent military conflicts.
