Mr Medvedev noted in his message that, following the Nicaraguan president’s visit to Russia last December, relations between the two countries have gained new impetus and the first practical steps have been taken towards an agreement on building a mutually advantageous long-term partnership.
The President said that the exchange of views at intergovernmental level is giving an added boost to the whole range of ties between the two countries, especially in the trade and economic sectors.
The message was delivered by Deputy Prime Minister Igor Sechin, who was on a visit to Nicaragua.
