Senior diplomats from Iran and Nicaragua signed a document on comprehensive cooperation between the two states, Tasnim reported. 

The document was signed by Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian and his Nicaraguan counterpart Denis Moncada in Tehran on Sunday.

At a meeting before signing the agreement, the foreign ministers of the two countries discussed a number of bilateral, regional and international issues.

The Iranian and Nicaraguan foreign ministers had already met on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York in September 2021.

The administration of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi has already expressed Tehran's willingness to intensify relations with Nicaragua in various fields.

In January 2022, Amirabdollahian congratulated Daniel Ortega and the Sandanista Front for winning Nicaragua's presidential election, stating that Iran was ready for increased cooperation and relations between the two states.
