Iran (IMNA) -Raeisi was officially welcomed by his Nicaraguan counterpart, Daniel Ortega, upon his arrival in Managua on Tuesday evening local time. "The US sought to stop our nation through sanctions and threats, but not only did our nation not give in, it created an opportunity out of threats and sanctions and made progress," Raeisi said.
He claimed that the Nicaraguan people's resistance to oppressive demands and hegemonic forces resulted in their success and noted that both countries have a desire for independence, freedom, and justice.
He criticized the "false" promises made by western countries about their support for democracy and human rights, and he encouraged the West, particularly the US, to respect democratically elected governments. But they act in the other way, he claimed.
The Iranian president also stated that Managua and Tehran had "strategic" ties. He highlighted the Islamic Republic's willingness to strengthen bilateral cooperation in many areas, especially in the fields of science and technology.
For his side, Ortega said that the struggle against the control of haughty nations, particularly the United States, had profound roots in both the Iranian and Nicaraguan revolutions.
According to Ortega, the Iranian and Nicaraguan revolutions have strong roots in the battle against arrogant nations, particularly the United States.
He said that imperial nations aspire to dominate other countries by nature, and that they put pressure on independent countries under the guise of human rights and democracy.
Raeisi arrives in Nicaragua on the second phase of his three-nation visit to Latin America, leading a high-ranking political and business delegation. He had already visited Venezuela and will now travel to Cuba.
