The strategic ties between Iran and Nicaragua are in a “very good” status, the ambassador said on Saturday, adding that a trip by Iran’s President Ibrahim Raisi to Nicaragua -- due to take place within the next two months -- will help further strengthen relations between the two countries.
Lenin Bravo made the comment in Iran’s southern city of Bushehr where he met with Mayor Hossein Heidari.
The diplomat also said it is of paramount importance for the Nicaraguan government that a sisterhood agreement is signed between Bushehr and Nicaragua’s city of Bluefields, as the deal will help the two cities carry out joint projects, he added.
The mayor of Bushehr, for his part, said that the city has long been of interest to major countries, with many governments having consulates in this port city.
Heidari said that the historical structure of Bushehr can serve as a good capacity for cooperation with Bluefields, while the Iranian city can also contribute to supplying energy and food in many countries thanks to its vast resources.
