“Our delegation led by the prime minister arrived from Cuba to Nicaragua having great expectations. Nicaragua holds a lot of promise as a partner. We are looking forward to meaningful meetings and negotiations on a wide range of avenues of cooperation.

We arrived to a very warm welcome. We enjoy our stay here and we have something to offer to this country,” said Sergei Lukashevich.

A number of talks between government agencies, institutions and factories are scheduled for today,” the first deputy minister remarked.
