Lavrov and His Nicaraguan Counterpart Moncada Hold Press Conference in Moscow

Political scientists note that Russia and Nicaragua have been allies since Daniel Ortega and his followers toppled the oligarchic pro-US Somosa clan and defended the nation's sovereignty during the CIA-instigated civil war.
 
Sputnik is live from Moscow, where Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and his Nicaraguan counterpart Denis Moncada are holding a joint press conference.
 
Earlier, the two ministers held talks to discuss a broad range of bilateral issues. Recently, Rosatom expressed an interest in developing wind energy projects in Nicaragua, while the Russian government donated 348.5 tons of flour to the country to support local children.
