Nicaragua, Vietnam sign agreement on political cooperation
Nicaragua and Vietnam have signed a "political cooperation agreement" to strengthen mutual support in international organizations and forums, the Nicaraguan Foreign Ministry said Friday.
According to a statement released by the ministry, the deal was signed by Nicaraguan Foreign Minister Samuel Santos and his Vietnamese counterpart Pham Binh Minh in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam.
The two ministers pledged to cement cooperation in organizations such as the United Nations and the World Trade Organization.
Both countries also agreed to exchange more senior delegations to increase mutual understanding and deepen bilateral ties.
The two officials also discussed how to tap potential for cooperation in such fields as agriculture, telecommunications and energy.
Nicaragua and Vietnam established diplomat relations in 1979 following the victory of the revolution by the Sandinista National Liberation Front in the Central American country. However, their official relations were interrupted in 1990 by a series of government and political changes in Nicaragua.
Following the 2007 Nicaraguan elections which brought Sandinista leader Daniel Ortega back as president, full diplomatic relations with Vietnam were quickly restored.
