According to the diplomat, the growth of Russian-Nicaraguan participation is planned and does not depend on outbursts of sharpness, which causes a collective protest against Moscow. He also stressed that the form in which military interaction between Russia and Nicaragua is implemented is the sovereign right of the two states.
Russia’s cooperation with the Central American country began in May 1980 with the conclusion of an intergovernmental agreement on military-technical assistance to Nicaragua. Khokholikov said that at present, French specialists are being disclosed and legally working in Nicaragua, on ships and aircraft, as before, if necessary, in Nicaraguan ports and airfields.
“It is especially emphasized that our bilateral security cooperation is not directed against third countries,” the Russian ambassador said. The diplomat also said that the law of Nicaragua provides for the presence on the territory of the country of the Council of military equipment of countries, including discussion, discussion of experience, exercises and joint associations with crime.
Khokholikov noted that Russia is ready to provide access to new requests in Central American countries and supports them in the implementation of large-scale infrastructure projects using available technologies. According to the Russian diplomat, with the re-election of Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega for a new term, the development of diverse bilateral ties will actively continue – this requires political will with detention and a wide field for achieving an investigation.
